    In your case, it is the best option to file joint return as residents. You will attach W7 (ITIN applicatin) for your child your tax return. You must both report your worldwide income.

    MukatA,

    Thanks for the answer. What form I will have to file? Can I file it on my own or I will have to use professional services ? Can I file on line?
