UAN number generate while outside India for pf

I'm currently outside India (USA). I'm moving to Bangalore soon for a job. My employer asked me to generate a UAN for my PF through the UMANG app and aadhaar facerd app. It doesn't seem to work in my phone (some network issue it says while trying to connect to facerd I think). I'm trying a few things with vpn etc and setting my timezone and play store location to India.

Can the employer not create it for a new joiner? And I haven't had a PF account previously and haven't worked in India. Can I just ask the employer to opt out of pf? I googled and it seemed possible since the base salary is high and I haven't had a previous PF account. But the employer was like - we need it.

Anyone dealt with this/similar while they were outside the country?

Dinner and a fun conversation

Hello single people, I just turned 31M but I'm mentally like 25, and I'm moving to Bangalore in the next few weeks (HSR Layout).

About me:

I consider myself a good conversationalist. An introvert who puts in extraordinary effort to come off as an extrovert and I mostly succeed. My life is pretty simple - I work as an swe, I read a lot of fiction, watch horror movies religiously, play a few racket sports, and a bit of basketball (I'm super tall at 5 8"). I have a mix of liberal and conservative values, and I'm apolitical and agnostic (family Hindu), and I'm very non-judgemental.

I'd love to connect with a woman in Bangalore who's looking to chat/ see if we vibe, plan and go on a few dates and see if it could lead to something more. My thoughts on relationships: it takes two to tango..

I speak English, Tamil, Malayalam (70% fluency), Telugu (can't speak well, but understand 100% and will respond in English 😂)

DM me if you want to know more, I'm an open book. I can share personal details like pics, etc.
