    Will my spouse get her ssn before being in the us
    Hi, this subject is related to tax issues.
    My wife is not in the US yet, she has visa interview next week AND Of course DOESN'T HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY YET, BUT she will eventually get one here in the US who knows when.
    We have been married since September 2008.
    My question is that can I claim her in tax forms? Can I file as married?
    Please help.
    Thanks.
    PS" I am a US citizen.

    A U.S. citizen or resident can choose to file joint return as residents even when the spouse is nonresident alien and has never been to the U.S. Attach W-7 with your tax return.

    If you want to wait for SSN it is your choice. At present your spouse is not eligible for SSN.
