I am planning to get married this year and AFAIK my filing status next year will be either 'married filing jointly' or 'married filing separately'.
I see most of the instructions/articles talks about apply for INIT along with tax return.
For my foreign fiancée whom won't come to U.S anytime soon, can I apply the INIT abroad for her first via IRS agency so that next year I can just file the tax return and skip the INIT application process?
Or it's recommended to apply the INIT along with tax return?
