She can go to US embassy and get a certified copy of passport (50$).
Then you would need to do paper filing along with that.
Reach out to any third party consultants , they will help you with all the steps.
I have done it through AOTax

If your spouse is never been in US, you are treated as Single for tax purpose in US and you can't have her on your taxes as well as you can't apply for her ITIN..

yep.. you can consult with your cpa.. rule is plain and simple, you get ITIN or SSN only when you are physically present in US and meet the criteria.. since your spouse never came to US, you are treated as Single for tax filing purpose.
