You can file married filing jointly as full year residents.
The IRS allows a nonresident spouse to be treated as a resident. You both will need to manually create a written election to file married filing jointly and to both declare your worldwide income on your return for calendar year 2019.
If, at the end of your tax year, you are married and one spouse is a U.S. citizen or a resident alien and the other spouse is a nonresident alien, you can choose to treat the nonresident spouse as a U.S. resident. This includes situations in which one spouse is a nonresident alien at the beginning of the tax year, but a resident alien at the end of the year, and the other spouse is a nonresident alien at the end of the year.
Please see Publication 519, page 9, Nonresident Spouse Treated as a Resident. This page includes the election you will need to make (How to Make the Choice). You will need to print and mail your return as the election needs to be stapled to your return before filing.
Congratulations on your marriage!
