Hi,
Both myself and my spouse are working in USA on L1. However, my spouse is a resident alien for 2011 and I am a non-resident alien. My child is on L2 and he is dependent on my spouse. I am planning to go for Married Filing Jointly option. First of all can we file jointly since we have different NRA status? Secondly, Can I claim Child Tax Credit for 2011?
Please confirm.
