Answer 1

Your dependents do not meet the citizenship test or the physical presence test. You cannot claim them on your US taxes.

Answer 2

According to the IRS, to be a dependent, the individual (your family) must be either be a US citizen, a US resident, or a resident of Canada or Mexico for some part of the calendar year in which the taxpayer's tax year begins. Peru doesn't count so you can not claim them as dependents. This is the Citizenship or Residency Test.

Answer 3

dont listen to the guy above you can claim them. File a w-7 again with a certified person and youll get an ITIN within 3 months then youll be able to claim them. Make sure you attach your w-7 to the tax return and make sure you follow the instructions.
