Urgent: Adding spouse as dependant

I am on H1B and came to US in March 2007. I got married in Nov 2007 in India. My wife recently came to US in Feb 2008 on H4. Can I add her my dependant and file jointly?
Thanks in advance for your help

With your tax return attach W7 for your wife. Also file a statement that as a first year choice you choose to file as residents.
