How did you know that they processed your w7? 

They received mine on February 15 th and I have no updates 

I called several times (800) 829 1040 asking them to check my W7 application status.

Good luck

Thank you Leo & Angie; your post helped me a lot because I was able to have a get an genera and accurate  idea about the timing of the ITIN process.  I was worried because I sent my original passport to IRS and I just started looking at different forum the last three weeks. By reading through all the posts I noticed that majority of Users sent their Certified copies to the  IRS office. Below, you will find my timeline:

 

February 18 :  filed my wife's tax returns along with my W7 ITIN application via paper 

February 19 : I mailed my wife's tax returns along with my W7 and original passport to IRS office in Austin TX via USPS priority mail 

February 21: IRS received my package 

March 14 : IRS  processed  my W7  

March 17 : I called IRS office office to check the status of my ITIN application. They told me to wait for at least 60 days 

March 20: I called IRS office again and discovered that my application was approved and my ITIN has been assigned on MARCH 17 . The IRS officer shared the ITIN with me and my State Income Tax Returns was submitted the next day. 

March 25: I received my ITIN assignment letter CP565 by Mail

 

I expect to get my ORIGINAL PASSPORT back by April 22 and my refund by  April 29 (the latest.)  I will keep you posted.

 

All the best for the folks who are waiting to get the documents back or waiting for ITIN.  

 

 

March 27: I got my original passport back by mail.

Submitted W-7 with my federal return on 2/14/17 was received by IRS on 2/17/17. I called this morning 3/8/17 and was told it was approved today and ITIN # generated and mailed out. Was told to wait 7-15 days for ITIN # and letter in mail. So glad that's over I can do my state returns in time??
