When I file the I-130 petition, I know I need to show both original passports, as well as copies of the biographic pages. Will my Chinese wife's original passport be retained at that time, or will it be returned to her? I will need it to apply for an ITIN for her later. Also, can anybody explain what this means: " Your wife needs to apply for ITIN with IRS. If she needs her Chinese passport to be certified, please make an online appointment with ACS for notary service." What is meant by a "certified" Chinese passport? Is the original passport in some way "certified" or authenticated, or is a certified/authenticated copy issued? Or must a "certified" copy of a Chinese passport be obtained from the Chinese Government?

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.
