    H1B with W7 as married with 11 allowances, sound right?
    I'm on H1B, married (spouse doesn't work on H4), 3 children, income below the w4 mentioned rate for married filing jointly so can apply for tax credit. The total allowances work out as Married / 11.

    Does this sound right?

    Use the worksheet on W-4 and work out your allowances. You can file joint return as residents and claim your children.
