For EITC or EIC “You must be a U.S. citizen or resident alien all year”. I have obtained green card in middle of last year. Am I resident alien all year of 2015?

One of rule for Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is “You must be a U.S. citizen or resident alien all year”. What is mean by all year here? I have obtained permanent resident card (green card) around in the middle of last year. Can I consider myself resident alien for the all year of 2015?
