You probably converted to H-1B on 1 October 2008. If so, you need to file as a non-resident alien, filing Forms 1040NR-EZ and 8843 one last time.

You also need to amend your 2006 and 2007 returns, filing Form 1040X and attaching properly-prepared Forms 1040NR-EZ and 8843 to the Form 1040X for each respective year.
