FORM 8917/ line 34 on 1040 tuition deduction - 海外工作

Hi,

I read pub 519 and 1040i..
An alien resident (GC) can claim a F1 spouse as dependent.
could I fill Form8917 to further deduct the adjusted gross income?
since the F1 spouse just adjust status this year,
the tuition paid last year is based on non-resident standard
and no SSN is added on school's file, so we don't receive 1089T
we call 1-877-467-3821 to ask if they can issue 1089T for us
but not sure if we qualified to deduct tuition to save money.

Do we miss reading something? (pub or instruction)

Thank you.
