    You CANNOT file jointly with your wife as residents.

    You CAN a dual-status return and claim you wife as a dependent, so, yes, you can get an ITIN for her.

    Further, you will be able to claim daily living expenses while in the U.S. because your stay was for LESS than one year.

    If you have not filed and need help, contact me at [email protected].
