stimulus package for International student(resident alien)

[Tax_question10]

I am a US citizen; my spouse is on an F1 visa and has SSN.

We are planning to file a joint tax return for 2018 and 2019. We filled for an extension for 2018 but did not able to file for tax returns.

I just wanted to know if I and my spouse are eligible for stimulus cheque.

Q14. Does someone who is a resident alien qualify for the Payment? (added May 6, 2020)

Q14. A person who is a nonresident alien in 2020 is not eligible for the Payment. A person who is a qualifying resident alien with a valid SSN is eligible for the Payment only if he or she is a qualifying resident alien in 2020 and could not be claimed as a dependent of another taxpayer for 2020. Aliens who received a Payment but are not qualifying resident aliens for 2020 should return the Payment to the IRS by following the instructions about repayments.

Hi 

Thanks 

is this qualifying resident alien different from a resident from tax purposes only?

we have not applied for the green card and he is here on an F1 visa since September 2018.
