Can I file as head of household if I was married in March 2017? I am the sole supporter as my husband is in the US on a visitors visa and cannot legally work.

No. In order to claim HOH, you cannot have lived with him at all during the second half of 2017, as well as meet other requirements..

Why is he still on a visitor's visa if you are married?

[SweetieJean]

We cannot give legal advice, so we suggest that the two of you see an immigration attorney.
