    You can file as married filing jointly or married filing separately. On joint return your husband must also report worldwide income for the year. If he paid taxes in foreign country, he can file Form 1116 (Foreign tax credit).
    Another filing requirement is Form TD F 90-22.1 and/or 8938 Specified foreign financial assets (SFFA). Your U.S. Tax Return: U.S. Citizen or Resident with Foreign Income
