Thank you, but that does not ask the questions if the parents lived more than 6 months in the US. 

The child was born in the US in Nov 2021, but his parents lived less than 6 months in the US, I would like to know if the parents can claim $3600 child tax credit for this child?

"The child was born in the US in Nov 2021, but his parents lived less than 6 months in the US, I would like to know if the parents can claim $3600 child tax credit for this child?"

Answer the question on the tax form; work through the wizard. Bookmark that link; it's a great resource.
