Has anyone ever gotten an ITIN card before?

Yes, it isn't a card.  Just a number.

Can you get it after. The marriage, but before you start the AOS process?

Yes,  if you search here or on google or can get it in some countries from an international CPA firm (acceptance agent) or when you file taxes the first time by including the W& and passport.  They return the passport right away.

 

Based on your timeline there are no acceptance agents in Nigeria so you will need to do the Tax return method.  Why did you want to get one?

Thanks!

What is you need for an ITIN?

I was concerned about him being added to my insurance and banking without SS. I found a lot of info on ITIN and now understand it’s tax-based.

You can add him to your health insurance a few weeks a few weeks after he enters as it usually takes 2 to 6 weeks to get the SSN. You can add as a beneficiary to life insurance without a SSN.

 

Some banks will allow you to add him to your accounts even before he is in the US without a SSN.  One of mine did, another would not.  Some ask for a W8-BEN

 

I was also able to add her to my Capital One Credit cards as a Fiancee.   During her interview they said that is was good to see that we had already started to commingle assets (and liabilities).
