An ITIN is predominantly used for tax purposes. People who are not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number, but need to file taxes or for other tax purposes, can apply for an ITIN and use it when they file their yearly tax return.

ITINs are also used to open bank accounts, apply for credit cards and can even be used to get a cell phone account. Although these things are possible, not every institution will allow it.

Has Obama forgotten immigration? 

Quote:





             immigration is the elephant in the room that cannot be ignored, especially not by the president. Obama is going to deal with it, and probably sooner than later in his term. <br />


Think about it. After winning two-thirds of the Latino vote last November, and after promising the Congressional Hispanic, Black and Asian Pacific American caucuses a strict but immigrant-friendly immigration law, is it really likely that Obama would turn away from immigration so early in his term?
