Did they maybe mean you need to attach a form W7 to get an ITIN for your wife? Sorry I've never heard of anything else like a letter.

Hi, No its not the w7. They said something about a letter saying she will be treated like a US person for taxes only.

Hey I finally get to help someone!

I had a similar question a few weeks ago, and I called up the IRS and asked them.

From what I understand, this letter is required when getting the ITIN number. You have to attach it to the application (which you attach with your taxes), and you need a letter signed by you AND your wife that states an intention and agreement to file your taxes jointly.

K3 Visa Process:

I130:

08/10 - Mailed to VSC

08/14 - Received by VSC

08/19 - Received NOA1 (I-797C)

12/13 - Approved!

12/18 - Received NOA2 (I-797C)

I129F:

08/22 - Mailed to Chicago

08/25 - Received by Chicago

09/02 - Received NOA1 (I-797C)

10/23 - Transferred to VSC

11/01 - Received by VSC

12/13 - Approved!

12/18 - Received NOA2 (I-797C)

12/18 - Transferred to NVC, then to Embassy

02/01 - Received Packet 3

02/02 - Medical

02/06 - K3 Interview

02/14 - Received K3 Visa!!!!!

See this link to an IRS page.

If you want to treat your nonresident spouse as a resident, you may do so, and this may let you file a joint return and thereby lower your tax liability. The linked page tells how to make that choice, and what information the letter must contain.
