What presence requirement are you talking about?  There is no presence requirement for the Child Tax Credit (including the $500 'other dependent' credit).

In order to get the $500 credit, a person must be classified as a Citizen, National or Resident of the United States.  A Citizen, National or Resident of Mexico or Canada would NOT get the $500 credit (unless they are also a Citizen, National, or Resident of the United States).
