stp, tax help

My wife (H1 2000 came USA) has fellowship which qualify article 20 (b) of the treaty, she can file 1040NRez so she do not need pay fed tax (thanks to the treaty). I have income (EAD 485 pending, 2000 came USA) too so I need file 1040. Actually we filed as above and we get tax money back for 2003. But If we can file 1040 jointly, I think we can apply her standard decution and exemtion also, so we can get more tax money back. Can we?

If we can, how to file 1040? Should I just put my income only in line 7, and file 8833 for my wife? In 1040nrez form, they have specific line(line 6) to fill in based on treaty, I don't how to deal with it in 1040 form.
