1. The OP clearly stated that the spouse is a resident alien.

2. I am not aware of any SSN requirement to file MFJ.

3. You can put any character in the spouse SSN field, and Lacerte will print it.

3. Clicking 'Suppress spouse exemption on MFJ return' may be necessary for state return.

4. In the past several years, I prepared a handful of tax returns without spouse's SSN. I used NRA (non-resident alien) or None. None of them was returned, rejected, or adjusted by the taxing authorities.
