I am a non-resident alien from India and so is my spouse. I was on F-1 visa for the whole of 2008. My spouse was on F-2 from Jan 2008 - July 2008. Then she converted to F-1 visa and has remained so from August 2008 - Dec 2008.
1. Can I claim some tax exemptions by filling any forms based on my spouse's presence partly in F-2 visa ?
2. Can I file 1040-NR jointly with my spouse (as she was my dependent for major part of 2008)?
Thanks in advance,
RB
