@MaryK4 thank you for the quick reply. I'm referring to the IRS page - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/alien-tax-status-first-year-choice
So, Im thinking whether I can go for first year choice so that I can be considered as a resident.
All I'm looking is whether I can claim standard deduction of 25100 if I file along with my spouse as "married filing jointly". Please let me know, thank you!
