Claim foreign parent who owns a LLC in US as dependent

Hiya,

 

I (H1B) and my wife (H4) are filing tax return jointly this year. My father (living in foreign country, holds B1 visa) owns a LLC in US, and he is the sole owner. This year the LLC received a 1099-INT. He does not have a ITIN and it is not practical to apply for ITIN since it requires the original copy of the passport or him being physically present in the US. AFAIK, a sole owner LLC can file tax return along with personal return. 

 

So here is the question: Can we claim him as a dependent for the purpose of filing the tax return for the LLC?
