Apply ITIN for my wife. How long will it take ?

Hi I am in a similar situation ITIN rejected so we have to send supporting documents related to the tax and a new W7 together with the notice to the address on the top witch is the same PO Box and address for the ITIN CENTER 
So my question is :

How long is going to take now???  
since we already have a case number do you think they will process this faster?  🙏

Please any answer Thank you

How long it will take is a crap shoot this year ... some have reported it taking between 8 to 10 weeks however yours could take more or less time.

So it doesn’t matter to send it with a case number It has to pass the whole process again Right?

is there a particular time that is best to call such that they will actually pick up? I call daily and I am being thrown off by the system, which says to call back due to high amount of calls.

thanks

We usually called at 11 am PST. You have to wait more than an hour in order to talk to the staff. So far we are able to call four times.

Usually calling at 7am  your time zone works best ...

 

Here is the normal method to reach a live IRS agent when they are operating smoothly, and I'll also tell you below how to reach the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service, if needed.

 

IRS:  800-829-1040 (7AM-7 PM local time) Monday-Friday

 

When calling the IRS do not choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

  • First choose your language.  Then listen to each menu before making the selection.
  • Then press 2 for "personal income tax".
  • Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  
  • Then press 3 "for all other questions."
  • Then press 2 "for all other questions." 
  • It may then ask for your SSN, but do not enter it.  Just wait.    If it asks for SSN a second time, still do not enter it.
  • Then it will get "tired", and you'll get another menu.  Choose 2 for "personal".
  • Then in the next menu choose 4 for "all other inquiries", and it should transfer you to an agent but expect a long wait.
  • I usually use a speakerphone so I can work on something else while waiting.

If you continue to have no luck reaching the IRS, you can try contacting the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service for your area.    They are especially prone to help if you have an economic hardship, or if there have been continued delays with lack of info from the IRS.    At the following IRS website, find the USA map and click on your state, and it will give you the number of your IRS Taxpayer Advocate.    If the Taxpayer Advocate can't/won't help you, ask them to transfer you to an an IRS agent.  A couple of users reported that at least for them, that was a backdoor route to the IRS.
