F-1 student son a dependent?

[aslam-ambreen]

I am a US permanent resident and my 18 year old son is on an F-1 student visa since Jan 2016, living with me here in the US- can I claim him as a dependent on my 2016 tax return?

A student on F1 is a nonresident alien for 5 calendar years and cannot be claimed as dependent for these 5 years.
