Client is a resident alien (based on number days in US holding a working visa) with children who were in the US for only 2 months in 2007. Can the children be claimed for dependent exemptions in 2007 tax return? Is there an exception to rule requiring US, Canadian, or Mexican citizenship or residency for dependents in this case?

No. Yes, depends on the tax treaty, e.g. India.
