    Yash:

    If she qualifies under the Substantial Presence Test, you both can file Married Filing Jointly as resident aliens. To qualify, her H-1 visa must have been approved prior to 1 July 2005.

    The IRS Pub for resident and non-resident aliens is IRS Pub 519, which can be downloaded from www.irs.gov.
