A visa is not required to apply for a ITIN, which is required if you prefer to file using the Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) status.  The need to file a tax return is sufficient reason to apply for an ITIN.  You can find the form, form instructions, and additional information about applying for the ITIN here: About IRS Form W-7.
