    You should not file as single as you are married.
    You will not be able to file electronically for 2010.
    You can file on paper for 2010 with the ITIN application and then file electronically for 2011 (however, that might not go through if the IRS database is not updated with the new ITIN and you might have to file that on paper as well).
    Is your wife still in the US?
    If not you will need to get a certified copy with an apostille from your government.
