Thank you so much for this video! My brain was melting because no one else explained expats only got a partial refund in 2021.

What if I am the only one who is currently living here in the United States (holds a working visa), but both my son and my husband are living abroad? In addition, all of us are non-US citizens. I am the only one who earns an income. Would I be eligible to have that child tax credit? If yes, would filing for an extension give me more time to get an SSN and eventually receive the child tax credit for him? Thanks!
