I first entered the U.S. in September 2014 on an F-1 visa and have always been an F-1. 2018 was my 5th calendar year as an F-1 and I will meet the substantial presence test in July 2019.
Can I use the First Year Choice to file as a resident alien for 2018, given I have stayed in the U.S. for the entire 2018 calendar year?
