After you file

Thank you for your reply, @pk 

 

Here are the answers to your questions.

Which country are you from ?  Is she from the same country ?

-- We are both from Japan.

When did you enter the US with J-1 and as what ( student/ trainee/ researcher/ teacher/ prof. / ??) ?

-- I entered the US in November 2021 as a researcher. She entered December 2022.

 

We filed separately as non-resident aliens for 2022, and did joint returns as resident aliens for 2023 and 2024.

Please correct me if I am wrong, so she has to file as a dual-status for 2025 as she canceled her visa this year? or non-residend alien for entire year?
