Becoming a Lawful Permanent Resident mid-year tax implications

Hello,

 

I received an immigrant visa abroad at a US embassy in April and moved to the U.S. in September 2024. 

I am married to a U.S. citizen and plan on electing to be treated as a resident alien and filing as married filing jointly. I worked in Dubai and made approximately $10000 and did not pay an income tax there.

 

Would I be able to take the foreign earned income exclusion after staying in US for 4 months?
