Claiming the Dependent on the Tax Return

Dear All -

Could you please clarify the following:

I am married and a resident alien of US for the TY 2007. During the TY 07, my inlaws have visited US on Visitor Visa and were here for a period of 9 months. They have fulfilled all the Qualifying Relative tests as prescribed by IRS. Can we claim them as dependents on our Tax Return by applying ITIN for them??

Thanks!!
