For 2006, you cannot claim her becase you were NOT married on 31 December 2006.

For 2007, you CAN claim her because you were married at the end of 2007. Fill out Form W-7, staple a notarized photocopy of her passport to the W-7, then file joint using Form 1040 and paper clip the W-7/passport photocopy to the Form 1040.

You use Form 3903 to claim her moving expenses. Because you are claiming these expenses, you cannot file Form 1040EZ. You MUST file Form 1040.
