    Hi ,

    I am on STEM OPT now(applied for H1B in Nov-2011, under process) , Married in May of 2011. Wife hasn't come to US yet.
    Can I apply jointly for 2011 taxes? If yes, Can you please let me know to get ITIN.
    I came to US in Jan 08 - FYI

    Any suggestions in this regard will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    If you have not completed five years on F1, you must file nonresident tax return. Applied for H1-B does not change your status.

    Agreed.

    You are a non-resident alien who CANNOT file jointly.
