Number of allowances on W-4 for F1 and F2 visa with Indian nationality

Hi,

I am an F1 student with Indian Nationality currently on an extended OPT visa. I am a non-resident alien along with my wife who is on an F2 visa (not employed) who is also non-resident but has a ITIN.

My question is due to my nationality, am I allowed to claim 2 allowances in my W-4 form? If yes, would I need to fill out Form 8233 to prove the tax treaty exists between US and India that allows me to do so?
