One of my friend came to US to the state of CA in Feb 2011. What would be his residential status in US when he files tax return for 2011 in 2012. His family will join him by end of December 2011. Can he file a Joint Return. Can he be treated as resident alien since he is not stayed in US for 2009 and 2010.

The substantial presence test says atleast 31 days during 2011 and 183 days during the 3 year period that includes 2011, 2010 and 2009. In 2011, he will be there in US for 330 days. To be a resident alien should he have stayed in 2010 and 2009 also. Please guide me.
