If he has been ordered to remain outside of the US until 2015, then there must have been a problem with his first visit to the US. Either he entered illegally, or he overstayed his visa, or something went wrong. If he had entered legally and kept all his ducks in a row, there should have been no problem for him to get a green card within a year via the marriage to a US citizen. Spouses of US citizens get priority over pretty much everyone else.
Thing is, he should not have left. He should have gotten an immigration attorney IN the US, to do Adjustment of Status (I-485, I believe). Since he left, and the US now knows that he came illegally (or whatever the "doing it wrong" part was), he's pretty much SOL. How does the wife feel about moving to Mexico to join him, at least until 2015?
Unfortunately, the US (legal) immigration system does not care how "good of a person" you are. They care if you're educated, skilled, speak English, etc. Not how many people you help. There is no mercy with them, I'm afraid.
