My parents were with me for 5 months this year and I am planning to file I-130 for them in a couple of weeks. We will choose CS for adjustment of status.
My question: can apply for ITIN for them to claim as my dependents for the upcoming tax returns?
Thanks
 
You get the ITIN nember when you file the tax return if they qualify as dependents. If they were he 5 months they do not qualify especially since they are still residents of another country and have their tax home there at this time. Be very careful that you do not jeopardize their cases by claiming them as dependents when they should not be claimed. If in doubt, see a tax attorney.
