The rules to be claimed as a dependent for tax purposes are contained in publication 501.
I believe the question on the tax return is worded “can another US taxpayer claim you as a dependent” which is probably “no” unless they have US-sources income and file a non-resident return.
Also, you can’t be claimed as a dependent by parents you don’t live with if your taxable income is more than $4200. (The conditions are different if you did live with your parents.)
so odds are, you can’t be claimed as a dependent and don’t have to check the box.
