I'm here on a Visa Waiver and am currently going through the process with lawyers in relation to change of status etc but my husband has been supporting me since I arrived here last year and would love to be able to claim me.<BR /><BR />Does anybody know where I stand with all of this? I believe that as long as I would be able to attain an ITIN number that he could but I would prefer not to incur him additional charges and we just are unsure about what to do here.<BR /><BR />Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!</P> Mon, 09 Mar 2026 06:35:26 GMT Raabe C 2026-03-09T06:35:26Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/please-help/01/2636525#M986591 <P>Hi,<BR /><BR />I have been in America since June last year and got married to my husband in October.
