Itin Application For Immigrants

To obtain an ITIN, a federal tax return must be filed, and specific requirements must be met. ITINs are solely for federal tax purposes and do not grant work authorization or immigration status. Using another persons address for the application could lead to complications. Consulting a tax or immigration expert is advisable for detailed guidance.

I had a question about immigration law. My mom is set to marry a greek citizen and he wants to get a bank account here in the usa and transfer his money to it so he can prove that he is able to provide for not only himself but mom and i too. But in order to do that i know he needs an ITIN, but would he be able to get one, using mom and my own address, before he moves here?
Hello ****, to get an ITIN, one must file a federal tax return and meet certain requirements. However, it's important to note:
- ITIN is for federal tax purposes only.
- It doesn't provide work authorization or immigration status.
- Using someone else's address could lead to issues.
Please consult with a tax or immigration expert for detailed advice.
