You can file joint for federal and separately for Arizona. He would be be a resident for the state return (the state does not look at his immigration status, just his domicile).
If would probably not be better to file Arizona separate- because Arizona is a community property state, you may be required to report half of his income (so you would still have to file separately as an Arizona nonresident).
