Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@Bkeroles1677 , based on your statement that you have passed the SPT ( Substantial Presence Test ), generally you would be Resident for Tax Purposes ( irrespective of your immigration status ).
Since your spouse ( NRA ) is not present in the US, you would need to file as MFS ( HoH if you have qualifying dependent / relative and for whom you maintain a household -- there are a few ands/ifs/buts on this though ).
(a) When did you enter the country ?
(b) Does your wife have income in Egypt?
(c) Are you responsible for her support in Egypt --- I have to refresh my memory on US-Egypt tax treaty , but I don't think Egypt has a clause to recognize a dependent ion Egypt of a US person.
I will circle back once I hear from you
