After you file
To file as a resident under the substantial presence test, you have to have been in the U.S. at least 31 days in the current year and 183 days during the 3 year period that includes the current year and the 2 years immediately preceding the current year, with certain conditions as mention here from Tax Topic 851 from the IRS:
Since you are married, you can file as married-joint and that is usually better, but you can try it both ways to see which is best.
If you determine that you are not a resident, you can use Sprintax to file a non-resident tax return.
