Spouse is in India, can I still file as married filling jointly

Hello,

I live in US on H1 visa, working in one the tech company in San Jose. I am getting married on 23rd December. My spouse is in India, she works there and has never been to US. I would like to know if I can file my tax as "married filling joinlty" even though she doesn't enter US before 31st December 2013.
Also, will it be an advantageous (more tax return) if she enter US before December 2013.

Thanks,
Rocky
