Hi DavidD66,
Thanks for such a detailed response. Much appreciated!
Option 1 is the right one for me. Few questions:
1) Substantial presence test: both my wife and son were present in US for 334 days in 2023. Per my understanding they are resident aliens. Or it's actually (days in 2024 + 1/3 of days in 2023)? This test is quite confusing.
2) If they are both resident aliens - do I still need to attach a statement as per Option 1? Or just go ahead with completing W-7 forms for wife and son?
