Thanks for your reply @LinaJ2020 , we do not have such huge earnings, but something more humble, anyway, I am still L1 visa holder, thus my wife and our kids are still L2. Let us get to the point, last year was our first complete taxation year and in term of tax porpouses we were resident alien, in order to get child tax credit we had to submit W7 form along with our tax filing, now, believe it or not, we got maximun deduction for our kids. The whole point is this very year we were expecting same thing, but surprisingly while completing child tax credit deduction and after I enter their ITIN, this year we are able to get a $500 deduction for each kid, way lower than last year.
I made a research and found out that without SSN we cannot claim the whole thing, now I wonder if there is a way the can get SSN since they have L2 visa. I hope I have explained myself well, it is sort of tricky situation.
