The return is continually rejecting because the Employer TIN is not matching with the IRS Database.
When entering the W2 info on the Foreign wages for form 2555 the emplyer name is longer than the feild allows. I think that is why it is rejecting. The name is Truncated.
So he received a W-2, right? So this is a US employer?
A truncated name shouldn't matter, especially on Form 2555. Why do think that is the problem? Just make sure the first few characters of the name on the W-2 are correct, and double check that you are correctly entering the US Federal EIN on the W-2.
