I am trying to file my taxes and my wife does not have a ITIN or SSN yet. However I noticed on the 1040 instructions it says you can write in "NRA" if your spouse does not have and is not required to have a ITIN or SSN. Does this apply to my wife from China? Do I need to go through the hassle of getting her a ITIN? She does not work and has no income. She has never been to the USA or ever had a visa issued. I only found one conversation on the forums about this and it wasn't particulalry clear.

I am not sure if the I-130 can be handed in at the ebmassy in Guangzhou. I saw that the USCIS has a walk-ins on Fridays from 8:30 to 10:30. Do they have to be handed in during this two hour window only on Fridays? Thanks for your help...I am just starting the process for my wife and getting my daughter registered as a US citizen.
