    Praveen:

    You can file jointly with your wife as resident aliens under the provisions of a non-resident alien chooing to file jointly with the resident alien spouse.

    You will have to download Form W-7 to apply for an ITIN for your spouse.

    Contact me at [email protected] if you want professional help doing this.
