After you file

Well for all those waiting for their ITIN, I will give my time line here 

 

I applied for ITIN for my wife on Feb 3rd, it was sent the same week (sent by HR block). I received my wife ITIN, 4 Months later on June 8th. (Issued in June 4th). 

 

I don't know what caused the delay. 

 

(I did call IRS around 10 days ago and they said "it's not In the system yet") I was going to file again in next few days if I hadn't received it but I am glad that I didn't. 

 

So all those waiting for ITIN, give it some time, around 5 to 6 months would be a good estimate. And if it doesn't arrive by then, you may consider reapplying.
