If you are married and starting the AOS paperwork you should be getting a SSN soon. Also without a work EAD then you technically should not be making any money to get taxed on . Is it for a bank account you are filing it for. There are banks who do not need this and will wait for SSN when you get it.

Re: Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
Hi Patrick,
I filed because it was the only way that this particular bank would open an account for me. I'm married but still in the I-130/K3 process and as I'm retired I won't be applying for an EAD when I arrive, ergo no SSN either.

Here in California a person needs a SSN to get a driving license and many other official applications also need SSNs.
I read a while back that the bank files the tax form and that it is only to cover them for liability with the IRS.
Are you presently in the US?

We went right to the IRS office in London and filed the W7 in person. My husband got his TIN within a month if not less.

I don't recall that we ever collected the ITIN anywhere on paper; just applied and rc'd the SS# in its due time and then updated the number with the bank.

Gigiola,
Did you file the W-7 in conjunction with an income tax return? Starting roughly a year ago, the IRS will only process a W-7 when it accompanies a tax return.

How and when can I expect to receive my ITIN?
If you qualify for an ITIN and your application is complete, you will receive a letter from the IRS assigning your tax identification number, usually within four to six weeks. The IRS is changing from an ITIN card to an authorization letter to avoid any possible similarities with a Social Security Number card. Current ITIN holders' cards will not be replaced; they should continue to use the numbers previously issued when they need to supply identifying numbers for tax purposes.
If you have not received your ITIN or other correspondence six weeks after applying, you may call the IRS to find out the status of your application.
Where can I get help with my ITIN application?
You may call the IRS toll-free at 1-800-829-1040 for information and help in completing your Form W-7 and your tax return, or to check on the status of your application six weeks after submitting Form W-7.

Re: Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
Hi Jeff,
I read you wrote this somewhere else on a thread, but the bank was quite insistant that I should file the W7 and that they (IRS) would give it to me as the bank was asking for it.
I'll wait the 6 weeks and then Butch can inquire for me.
Not the end of the world if they close the account .. they can't keep the money!!

Re: Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
No Patrick, I simply made a deposit when I was there in September. A US bank account and cash/credit card make it easier to pay for stuff on line there .. and Christmas is coming up!
