    Thanks that helped a lot.

    1.Now I will file 1040 NR EZ and will use 5950 $ for itemized deduction in column11 for tax treaty.

    2. Page 2 E ( H1B employee) / F1 OPT / F1 student ( what is right)

    3. Page 2 F ( changed from F1 OPT to H1B in October 15)

    4. and for form 8843 I am mentioning my school address in column 9, even though I got graduated in December 2011 but I was in OPT. I assume that's right ?
