Hi,
I came to USA on LI B visa on Oct 3 2009 and applied for SSN on Oct 26 2009.
But Still my SSN application is pending with DHS for verification. I will be traveling back on 24 Dec 2009. Now my question is what if they don't issue a SSN to me before I travel back, will I be able to file my Tax return because I can't apply for my ITIN till my SSN application is pending. In that case how can I file my tax return from India?
If at all I am not able to file my Tax return will there be any problem while traveling again to USA? Can I apply for an ITIN from India?
 
You will get your SSN. You are no longer eligible to get ITIN. The deadline for tax is in June, so don't sweat it.
 
Thanx for your reply.
I understood that tax filing dead line is in June, but I will not be traveling back to USA in near future. So what if SSN office find some discrepency in my application, after I left USA. I will not be here to provide them any kind of assistance, in that case what are the possibilties? Is it mandatory that if you are a L1B visa holder defenately you will get SSN?
 
Well, if you have L1 status, you are definitely eligible for SSN, since you are eligible to work in US. The question becomes, then, how are you maintaining L1 status if you are going to be out of US for at least 8 months.

In any event, your SSN will be decided upon at some point, and then, if you don't get it, you can file your return with a request for ITIN.

You don't need an SSN to pay taxes. And an ITIN will only be issued when you file your return. You worry a lot, eh?
