I've read somewhere that you can get a tax ID number for your spouse.

DO NOT DO THIS. The tax ID number is for people who do not qualify for a SSN, your spouse qualifies and you should have a SSN by April 15th, 2012 if not a GC. You must file married, whether you file joint or seperately depends on your tax situation and which is better--i.e. causes you to pay less taxes between the two of you.

Getting a tax ID number is a quick fix, but it MAY come back to bite you in a big way--it may not, but when dealing with the IRS I would rather not have them have a reason to come after me as they may not be able to find your tax returns filed under the tax ID number and associate them with your spouse gets the SSN. If your spouse still does not have a SSN file a tax return any way and leave the SSN blank and then file an admended return with the SSN when it is obtained. That is what I was going to do, but my wife received her SSN by the middle of March so it wasnot an issue.
