Hi,
My friend is getting ready to apply for 485 (employment based) now that the dates are open. His wife is currently in India and he is having tough time with finding tickets to bring his family back in time.
Is it necessary for the spouse to be here in US to apply for I-485 (as a spouse beneficiary)? I just read from the FAQ below (question 13) that Medicals are needed but it is also OK to wait and send those back again later when USCIS issues RFE:

If it is not for medicals what else is it that they need to be here for? He could mail the papers to India and obtain her signature. I am not sure how important is the I-94 card or the number in the application process...Can any experts please answer?
Thanks!
