I recently married a foreign national in August 2018 and was under the impression that I was unable to claim her as a dependent for the last two tax years due to not being able to find a clear answer that she qualified for a Tax ID or social Social Security until she moved here (She has since moved here in the last couple of months).
Anyways I was recently talking to the Immigration lawyer that I hired to take care of my wifes Immigration case and the topic came up he was surprised I haven't done so since we were married for a while now and said it was absolutely possible to claim her as a dependent and that I just need to show proof of our marriage (Marriage Cert) and that we filled a case with USCIS for her to immigrate here back in 2018.
Is this true? and if so how do I even start this?
