Can I buy Series I Bonds as a non-resident alien?

The TreasuryDirect website says that an individual has to be a US resident (e.g., pass the substantial presence test) to buy Series I Bonds. I moved to the USA in Q3 of 2022 on a work visa and haven’t been here for over 183 days yet, which means I don’t pass the substantial presence test and am not a US resident for tax purposes yet.

However, I will become a US resident in Q3 of 2023. This means I will be considered a US resident for tax purposes for all of 2023 including today. With the “first-year choice”, I could even be considered a US resident for tax purposes from the date I arrived in Q3 of 2022.

Does that mean I’m eligible for buying Series I Bonds now, given that I will be a US resident for 2023? Or should I wait until Q3 of 2023 and miss out on the interest rate?
