    Resident or nonresident status
    Hello,

    I want to figure out weather I should file as a non-resident or a resident.

    I came to the usa on August 2005 from lebanon on F1 student visa
    I started working under F1/opt from jan 2007
    I started working on H1B in October 2007
    I started my green card process (I-140 I485) in July 2007

    Do I apply as a resident or nonresident alien?
    How much deductable can I claim(standard... )?


    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you.

    You should file as a non-resident alien, filing Form 140NR-EZ and Form 8843.
