I agree. Only "U.S. persons" must file. This includes U.S. citizens and U.S. residents. As long as you have not been in the U.S. for more than 5 years under your F-1 visa, you are not required to file.

However, you DO have to file Form 8843 by itself (the second page needs to be signed) if you are not filing a tax return.
