For myself, I stayed in Status since May, 2007. I were a dual status alien in 2007.
1. I were a nonresidece before I came to USA. I do not need to report income outside of USA for this period.
2. I were a residece between May to Dec 31, 2007. I need to report worldwide income, which I got between May to Dec 31, 2007.
3. Because my wife is in Canada, I have house in Canada. So I need to report worldwide income to Canada, which I got From Jan 01 to Dec 31, 2007. The tax paid for USA can be deducted as Foreign Tax Credit.
