Hi lada_di,
You will be considered a United States resident for tax purposes if you meet the substantial presence test for the calendar year 2023. You must be physically present in the United States on at least:
1. 31 days during 2023, and
2,. 183 days during the 3-year period including 2021, 2022 and 2023.

From 6/1/2023 - 12/31/2023 there are 213 days, so you should meet the substantial presence test for a US resident for tax purpose for tax year 2023 and file income tax return(s) in early part of 2024. You have no income before you came to the US.
Based on your description, you would fill out W-4 Step 1 - name and address, social security number and mark the "Single" box, and sign and date Step 5 for your employer.

Welcome! Good Luck! Hope this helps.
