My only reservation is that the head of household filing status is mostly for individuals who are not married or married but living apart from their spouse. So, it would be safer to file as married-joint and therefore recommended, especially if the tax will be the same either way.
While it is true you may qualify for HOH status if married to a non-resident, you also must comply with the other requirements of HOH status, such as furnishing more then 1/2 the cost of a household in which your dependent lives.
