First Year Choice Qualification

Greetings! Me and my husband we moved to USA on 29th of September 2023. Since then we didn't leave USA. My husband started to work for a company on W2 since 18th of October. I am self-employed. If I understand correctly then we are qualifying for the First Year Choice in 2023. But there is mentioned that we cannot file our taxes before we will meet presence test in 2024. Does this mean that we will meet it in the middle of March and can file taxes with declaration until 18th of April or should we wait for 183 days in 2024 to file our taxes? Also can we file taxes as a married couple? Thanks for the answers in advance!
