Deductions & credits

The more I read, the more I'm wondering if we could elect to be resident for the whole year (First year election) to make our return more simple. I thought we had to do a Dual Status return, but can we just do a Resident alien return (and file 8833 to claim the exception of the saving clause of the treaty between France and the US, article 20 for researcher).
