F-1 Student not filing 1040NR form

Hi there!

I've been looking for an answer to my question regarding me filing with a 1040 instead of a 1040NR, and I found some answers that were useful and pretty much I know what to do in case I need to amend my status. My question is the following, right now I'm a student with a F-1 visa from Mexico but I'm becoming a US permanent resident in 2008 and since I already checked and there is no problem with the INS because of the privacy rules that the IRS has and as a matter of fact I never owed takes, but instead I received refunds because I never earned more than 3500 dlls a year in wages, do I really have to go through all that if I will become a resident and will change my status from 1040NR to 1040 in a year or so???

is it really worth it??

Here are my earnings per year:

2001: 594.10 refund: 132.40

2002: 293.28 refund: 66.20

2003: 353.16 refund: 66.20

2004: 3,424.99 refund: 340.55

2005: 3200 refund: 314.04

2006: 2622.55 refund: 33

As you can see I did not work a lot, and my employer never took SS or Medicare from my check...

thanks a lot for your help !!
