Hi,
I arrived on F1 in US in aug-02. Graduated dec-04
Worked on OPT till oct-2005, then on H1 till present...
Since the flowchart in pub-529 is not very clear on how to determine R or NR status, I filled out form 1040.
But after reading many forums in guess I should have filled 1040NR since I haven't completed 183 days on H1 in 2005. Would there be problems? How do I correct it if I am wrong.
Thanks in advance,
Sameer
