I am preparing 06 tax return. My situation: F1-OPT-H1. I changed to H1B in Oct 06, and worked thru 06 til now. Was on F1 for the previous 3 years. ;)

I meet "physically present for 183 days during the 3 year period", but do I need to be visa status consistent? Seems that the PUB 519 does not specify in its Substantial Presence Test, only requires "physically present".

So I clear the SPT?:confused:
