Where should a foreigner who married a U.S. citizen report taxes?

I am a Polish citizen and am going to marry a U.S. citizen soon. I will move permanently to U.S. after getting married. However, I still work for a Polish company and am going to continue doing it after my move to U.S. (I work from home). Where should I report my taxes? When does a new resident stop paying taxes in his homeland and start to do it in U.S.?

If you are living in the US and working in the US (it does not matter if it is for a Polish company), you should be paying taxes and filing tax returns in the US.  You should start doing so after you get married and file for your permanent resident status on the basis of marriage.
