Thank you very much @KurtL1 .
I understand that dual status basically means filing both 1040NR and 1040 for this year. So Can I use Married filing jointly here to claim standard deductions or child tax credits etc ? I am confused because some websites say that this is not allowed. However, some of them say that since spouse is also a resident at the end of year, we can claim all the above deductions. Can you please confirm ?
