I am a US citizen. I am applying green card and SSN for my wife. SSN can take up to 7 months. I found this on IRS website.
"
f your spouse is a nonresident alien and you file a joint or separate return, your spouse must have either a Social Security Number (SSN) or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). To get an SSN for your spouse, apply at a social security office or U.S. consulate. You must complete Form SS-5
"
I plan to file tax extension. I am concerned because in case my wife's SSN is not approved by 10/15, I don't know what to do.
