Dual Status Alien - Foreign Income

I moved to the US from Ireland in July 2011 to marry my wife and got my Greencard in December 2011. As a result I am a dual status alien for the year 2011. My only income for the year is foreign employment income earned whilst resident in Ireland from an Irish employer (pre April 2011) which is not taxable in the US under the dual status rules. My wife will be filing Married Filing Seperately so that my Irish income is not taxed as part of her return. My question is, do I need to file a dual status return at all given that I have no taxable income in the US for 2011?
