I married my husband who is illegal in 2010. I have no idea what this ITIN is or what a W-7 form is. He has no passport only a birth certificate and ID from his country. Can I file as married filing single? I need to be able to claim my student loan interest and I think I can only do that as filing jointly but he really shouldn't exist in the states. We have an immigration lawyer and are in the process of getting him a visa... please help!

He needs a second form of ID in order to get the ITIN.

I recommend that you wait for the visa, then submit it with the birth certificate and Form W-7 to get his ITIN.

I too am married to an illegal immigrant. I filed single but married. How is the visa status coming along? I haven't found any lawyer to help us and we have a baby together. They want him to go back to mexico and keeps telling me he will be banned. If you can help me with some info I would appreciate it. [email protected]

We don't know when the visa is going to go through, could take years we're told. What do I do for this tax year?

Will email you separately
