Hi,
Can my other half whilst on an O3 dependent VISA apply for an ITIN so that we could file a joint tax return? Obviously, holders of an O3 are not permitted to work.
Thanks

If I recall correctly the application for the ITIN was done at the same time as and submitted with the first tax return as non-resident aliens - i.e. not permanent residents, but meeting the tax residency requirement to file a tax return.

“If you are an alien (not a U.S. citizen), you are considered a nonresident alien unless you meet one of two tests. You are a resident alien of the United States for tax purposes if you meet either the green card test or the substantial presence testfor the calendar year (January 1-December 31).”
