New Resident Alien and foreign earned income

I'm US citizen and married to a foreigner in 2009. My husband got his US immigration visa in Apr 2010. He became a Resident Alien in Sept 2010 while we moved back to the US. We lived together the entire time.
1. Does he need to report the income that he earned before he became a Resident Alien?
2. Can we file married jointly? Or should we each file married separately for 2010 -- if so can we file married jointly next year?
3. Can we use the regular 1040? And/or any special forms to use for this situation?
Thank you in advance for your help!
