Not to mention schemes where you register a company in lets say UK then re-domicile it to Cyprus to have a prestigious UK front, while actually having a Cyprus company. Big corps have such complex corporate structures that your head will spin wile trying to figure it all out
Your way of seeing the business world (on a global level) is somewhat limited.
This kind of catch 22 problem happens all the time when you are dealing with bureaucracy abroad, sometimes you think it's out of pure stupidity and incompetence, sometimes it feels like a deterrent for foreigners...

If you have a legal residence in the US you will also have a Tax ID, or TIN. I assume you want a US corp because you want access to US credit card processing and US banking. (If I am wrong about that then ignore this and all my previous comments as they are then irrelevant.)
You are certainly going to need a TIN for the processing, and possibly even an SSN as this requires a credit check. The banking will be similar but you may be able to find some way around it. Once you start depositing money and moving it around though, at some point someone is going to need to get a tax ID on file.
