Any income earned while in the U.S. must be reported on the U.S. tax return.
If you meet substantial presence test or you are filing joint return as residents, you must declare your worldwide income. Your U.S. Tax Return: Substantial Presence Test (http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/04/substantial-presence-test.html)
