Question

Is my wife treated as NRA if she lives & work outside USA or its territory? She never stepped in the US. Thank you.

I'm a resident alien.

Yes, your spouse is a nonresident alien.

If you are a resident alien, you can choose to treat your nonresident spouse as a U.S. resident for tax purposes and file as MFJ.

Please read this IRS document for more information.
