I am in H1B work permit and my son is in H4 visa. He is 14 years as on 03-Dec-16 and lives with us all through the year. Am I eligible to claim child tax credit?
Question is mainly to choose US residence or not, he is being in H4 Dependent Visa.

yes, you can claim the child tax credit as you are all resident aliens. Resident aliens are treated the same as citizens and permanent resident s for tax purposes
