Hello a friend of mine filed I-130 package and I-485, I-864 for me!

Im a U.S. Citizen and got married in Honduras about a year and a half ago now im trying to bring my wife here to U.S.!

I mailed all papers last week on 1/19/10!

Today(1/29/10) I got everything back with the following rejection notices!

heres the info that each say!

You cant file for adjustment of status if she is not in the US

L2 to H4

I have been working on L2 visa. My spouse's H1B and consequently my H4, approved effective this January 1st, and intimation received by us on January 4th. My spouse joined new job on Jan.11 (as H1B) and I quit the job on Jan.22nd. Are the time lines ok?

I understand what the problem is. the person not in the United states, so you cannot file adjustment of status for them. Because of that your petition cannot be accepted. if your wide could come to the US, then the adjustment could be processed. if not, you can put in the petition for her, and she can file when it is approved in her country. however, If you can, bring her to the US, and since you have been married for a year and half, you only need a few more month and she can be eligible for a straight permanent residency rather than the conditional one she might get if it was accepted before... hope this helps.... I have done so much research to understand the USCIS process, so that I don't make mistake on my own application, yet I still find I get confused sometimes, so this site is really good for sharing....good luck
