@fma2022 You can - and should - file as married filing separately and claim your child. Provided you have obtained a social security number for them. You should also claim a foreign earned income exclusion or a foreign tax credit depending on your circumstances. And if your wife has not stepped foot in the US nor had any income from US sources then she has no US filing requirement.
