Claiming a foreign spouse? tddaly 01-04-2008

Hi, I am US citizen who has just married a vietnamese wife in December of
07. I have been sending her about 200 a month to pay for school and
living expenses. I would like to know if it is possible to claim her on my
07 taxes. If I can claim her how would I go about doing so? Can I still
file a 1040ez? Do I need to file additional forms? I noticed when doing a
practice run on this years taxes that claiming my wife as a dependent
would take my $100 tax bill to a $1900 tax refund.
thanks for your help
tony
