H4 Visa: 2007 Tax Filing Status - To file or Not to File

Hi,
I am on H4 from 2006. Filed tax for 2006 using ITN with my spouse(H1) as Joint Return. My spouse wants to do Married filing Separately FOR 2007. My question is for 2007,
1) Do I need to file a separate return inspite of lack of income(H4) ?
2) Or do I just leave it as such and not file at all?
3) I recieved my SSN on December,2007. If I file tax for 2008 next year, will I encounter any glitch or trouble.

Kindly help,
Thanks
Iag
