We came to US on June 5th 2009 on L1 Visa. From IRS documents my case belongs to Resident alien. And I have income in india. Can I file for Foreign income exemption using form 2555. From IRS documents, I need to satisfy two condition to qualify.
1) Physical presence test - I am passing this test, as I have stayed in US for 183 days.
2) Tax home test - Can you help me to find out whether I am passing this test.

Could you help me to know whether I qualify for filing this exemption.
