Sorry I didn't put all my questions in one post. Based on my understanding of your suggestion, we have 3 choices right now.

1) file jointly

3) file 1040NR using XXV

Thanks a lot. Your answer is very clear and useful. Now I have to ask some questions regarding my husband's US tax return for 2009.
