I endorsed my CA license to NJ in early 2006. At that time they still required CGFNS certification. I didn't have a SSN when I got my license. NJBON asked for SSN and I told them I don't have one. Then they asked me for the letter from SS office explaining the reasons why I don't have SSN. Since I was legally in USA, I got the letter from SS office. The NJBOn had also asked me to send a copy of my passport if I didn't have SSN. I sent the copy of passport and the letter from SS office stating that my visa status doesn't allow me to have a SSN. I got my license within two weeks of submitting those documents.
Your situation is a little bit different. You may want to write a letter to NJBON explaining your situation and teling them that you don't have a US address, neither US SSN, and let them know that you can not obtain a letter from SS office (if they have asked for) because you are residing outside USA. Don't forget to send a copy of your passport along with that letter.
I hope it helps.
