reddyji, 

Once your status has been adjusted ( or you have applied for  change), you can indeed exercise the first year option  i.e. request to be treated as a resident for tax purposes -- you file normal 1040 and attach a note requesting to be treated as a resident alien.   All the tax laws apply equally to  US citizen/ resident/ resident for tax purposes. Your world income is taxed by the USA

Can we help with anything else?  Namaste
