Claiming children as dependents if they are in foreign country living with my spouse who is NRA

I (a US resident alien) have biological US citizen children. Both children were living abroad with my spouse (non resident alien), while I was living in the US through all of 2024.

 

Can I file a joint return with my spouse (treating her as a resident alien)?

Can I claim my children as dependents?

Should I answer, children were living with me, while entering dependent details?
