I am not a US citizen, I just stay in US often on B1/B2 visa. I want to invest in mutual funds. I was advised by the mutual funds company that I have to have an ITIN since I don't qualify for SSN. I do not work in the US, and I am not planning to. I will just buy shares in mutual funds. I live and work in Egypt

I need help in filling the W-7 form. What reason should I select for applying: There are options from a to h.. and I can select "a" and "h"..

I do not have any documents to submit other than the notarized passport as I don't have any source of income from the US and I still didn't buy any shares in mutual funds because they won't allow me except if I have an ITIN. So can anyone advise what option should I choose on the W-7 form and what documents to send them other than the filled form and the notarized passport?

Thank you
