Question

Should we file jointly or separately if I got married and my husband is not a US citizen and doesn't have a SSN?

He didn't earn income in the US. He worked in the UK until mid-March 2020.

If you are a United States citizen (or a Permanent Resident) and are married to a non-citizen, who cannot otherwise qualify as a resident alien under either the Substantial Presence Test or the Green Card Test (as explained at the IRS.gov link found directly below), then you have some options on how to file your US tax return, although current United States tax laws do not make this process particularly easy.
