So she is in the USA, and has been for at least a year? I arrived here in September 2013, and filed four months later along with my wife, as married filing together.

Being in the US 5 years is not a requirement in filing taxes. If she was a resident in the US in 2014, she can be claimed or file if she has a SSN or ITIN.

Your post is phrased in a very confusing way. What are your and your fiancee's exact situations?

Your timeline says that you are married, in which case she is not your fiancee, she is your wife.

Are you the US citizen or is she?

is she in the USA right now? If so, when did she arrive in the USA? If your timeline is correct, and she arrived on 26th January 2013, the she is required to (not "can") file for both 2013 and 2014.

There are two tests for tax residency in the USA:

1. The substantial presence test.

2. The green card test.

Your comments suggest that she may be required to file for taxes under both of those tests.

Please provide more information.
