You could qualify, but there are a few factors. If you are married and you're spouse is not living within the United States or does not have a Social Security Number, you must disclose this fact. You will still be allowed to claim Child Tax Credit, but not EIC, if your child lived with you for more than 6 months and has a Social Security Number. Since you have been on F1 for more than 5 years, you are considered a US resident for tax purposes.
