Hi,
My wife is an F2 (and I am an F1) in 2007.
In mid 2007, we file for adjustment to permanent residents.
In early 2008, we got our green cards.
For 2007: we both filed as non residents (I filed 1040NR, wife filed 1040NR-EZ).
1 - Does IRS treat us as resident starting from our getting green cards (2008) or when we apply to adjust to green cards (2007) ?
2 - If it is the former, then I suppose I file correctly as a non-resident, since I am on F1 (which is an exempt individual). But did my wife file correctly as a non-resident? I can't find anywhere that says that F2 is also an exempt individual.
Thanks so much!
