    How long have you been on your visa?
    Yo are an exempt individual for 5 calendar years on the visa. That means you are exempt from counting days for the Substantial Presence Test and you would be a non-resident alien for 5 years. As a NRA you need to file a 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ.
    The interest from a qualified student loan can be deducted. It goes on line 9 on the 1040NR-EZ or line 33 on the 1040NR
