c.U.S. resident alien (based on days present in the United States) filing a U.S. tax return
d.Dependent of U.S. citizen/resident alien
e.Spouse of U.S. citizen/resident alien
f.Nonresident alien student, professor, or researcher filing a U.S. tax return
g.Dependent/spouse of a nonresident alien holding a U.S. visa

You need a separate W-7 for each.

For your wife's W-7, check Item E.

For your child's W-7, check Item D.
