Hi

Can I file as jointly status as my wife is on H4? But she does not have a ITIN just an ssn rejection. Can I still apply jointly or else is it single?

Yes, you can file joint return. Attach W-7 (ITIN application) with your tax return. H1-B tax filing: Your U.S. Tax Return: The U.S. Visas (http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/08/us-visas.html)
