    On H1 for 1.5 year.wife comes in 2008, but marriage in 2007
    Hi I am on H-1 since June 06. I got married on 30th Dec 07. And my wife came to USA on 1st Feb.'08. Can I claim her as dependent and ask for deductible? How should I file as file jointly or consider her as dependent?

    You CAN claim her as a dependent, but it LIKELY would be BETTER if you filed jointly with her.
