We are non-residents. My husband is on J1 visa and works, I'm on J2, ITIN or SSN is not received. Can my husband file for taxes jointly and what forms need to be filled?

We arrived in the US in August 2016 (so we are non-resident aliens for tax). My husband is on j1 visa and works, I'm on J2 and do not work, ITIN or SSN is not received. Can my husband file for taxes jointly and what forms need to be filled. Do I need to apply for ITIN if there is no personal income.
