Hey, So you have two options Married filing separate and Married filing jointly - if filing jointly you will need ITIN number and if filing separate you won't need it now but you do in future in both the case you will have to paper file there is no e-filing option for this. 

 

However i am having trouble establishing proof for ITIN application but if your spouse is living in usa or if you can obtain a certified copy of foreign passport it should be fairly easy.

I had talked to an IRS official over the phone but they said the person applying for the ITIN should be physically present while applying for ITIN. Since my wife is not in the US yet, I had no option but to wait for her arrival. Can you apply for the ITIN on your spouse's behalf if you have a certified copy of foreign passport? What exactly does it mean by certified copy? who needs to certify it?

If you don't get scheduled for an interview right away,it takes 5- 7days to get the CC confirmation email.

You should be able to, if you can obtain a certified copy of passport which is issued by the agency that also issued your wife's passport. There is also other option depending on the country your wife lives there are authorized IRS acceptance agents who can certify the passport if there is an authorized centre in your wife's current place.

See this link - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/acceptance-agent-program

 

I was not familiar with this and my ITIN was rejected since there wasn't one acceptance agent where my wife lives . I would suggest filing separate you might see a difference in the return but its better than to deal with ITIN , and go with an tax professional if you can (make sure they know your situation before you choose to file with them)
