Non-US from abroad to get an EIN. No way?

Non-US from abroad to get Employer Identification Number

[iProgram]

About two months ago I mailed form SS4 to IRS to apply an EIN for my Delaware LLC. Because I do not have ITIN, I also attached form W-7 to apply one. Other documents include my passport and the recorded copy of my certificate of formation to evidence that I am doing business in the US.
However, these doccuments are returned to me today. They said they could not issue an ITIN to me because

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

c. Request for Missing Information or Support Documentation to Complete Application for an ITIN.
You did not provide the required documentation showing you met an expeption for requesting an ITIN.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So is there a way to apply an EIN for my business? How to get an ITIN to fill in my EIN application form?

Now you can not get an EIN without ITIN. You can not get ITIN without tax return:(
