    If you are not married, you should file as nonresident.
    Now you need to file Form 1040X (amended return), with properly done nonresident tax return (Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ) and Form 3903 to claim moving expenses from India to US.

    On nonresident tax return, you do not get standard deduction. You only get itemized deduction.
