I am supporting my wife and kids in the Philippines.. I am a permanent resident. I want to claim them as my dependents. Can i file an ITIN for them?

Yes - an alien individual eligible to be claimed as a dependent on a U.S. federal tax return, but who isn’t eligible to get an SSN may be claimed after filing form W-7, Application for ITIN. However, an ITIN doesn't qualify a dependent for Earned Income Tax Credit purposes. You should complete Form W-7 as soon as you are ready to file your federal income tax return, since you need to attach the return to your application.
