Thanks Robert. Now I am clear. For 2025 I am not eligible to claim these credits and in 2026 if I satisfy Physical presence requirement and have ITIN for my children then I can claim $500 credit for dependents.
For 2025 if I understood correctly I need to file 1040-NR as Non- resident alien for my tax returns.
One final question - My wife is not working. Can I still file as Married filing jointly or should I file as Head of the house? Kindly advise which is right. Thanks!
