I am currently on a J1 Research visa and arrived in the US in July 2020, while my wife joined me in November 2021. Are we both considered residents for tax purposes? If so, can we file jointly as married filing jointly (MFJ)? Additionally, if we file jointly, are we eligible to claim the child tax credit for our 16-month-old child? Lastly, will claiming the child tax credit affect our future green card application?
Thank you for your assistance!
