You will file only one form depending upon you are nonresident or resident for tax purposes.
With the info provided by you, it is impossible to tell you which form you should file.

You are a resident alien and have been since 1 January 2006.

Combine the two W-2s and file Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ.
