    No, because you are NOT a U.S. citizen or green card holder and you are NOT physically loacted in the U.S.

    Your wife CAN be claimed because she is a U.S. citizen and the parent of a U.S. resident, even if she is located in India.

    In tha case, provided your son has provided more than HALF of your total support, he can claim you as a dependent/
