If nothing has significantly changed, prefer to have P3 apply online as a sole prop with SSN.

Thoughts on likelihood of getting an online app approved for first Chase business card, even if it requires a recon call?

I would apply online, and see what happens. The requirements specified are certainly not valid for a sole prop.
