Volunteering would only be possible if everybody in a similar position is volunteering.

That university is a public university, so everything they do is financed by the State of Kansas, i.e., the state government.

You have to be married to add her as spouse.

Do you or your employer have a lawyer? If not, get one.

The visa stamp is irrelevant while in the US. In the US, the date on the I-94 matters.

Does the naturalization certificate show your new last name? Was this a court ceremony with a judge? Name changes require a court session, with a judge presiding. If this was a court session and your new name is on the certificate you should have gotten a document about the name change.

25 yes, 26 and 27 no. In the Additional Information space, write something like "speeding tickets."

No. In the US, the visa date is irrelevant. The date on the I-94 is what counts.

Form I-539.

An I-140 is never ported. The new employer would have to start the process from scratch. You can keep the PD, though.

The AP is invalid now. You need the GC.

Consult an immigration lawyer.

Hmm, your post is not very clear. EB2 is a path to a Green card, once you have the GC how you got there is pretty much irrelevant. It is not clear if you actually have a GC, then EB2 or EB3 are irrelevant, or if you are still in the process of getting a GC. If you have a GC the company can not do anything to it.

AVR dies not work with visa stamping.

Once you have the GC your spouse's H4 becomes invalid.

An I-130 and I-485 can be filed. Note that once the GC is approved she has to live in the US.

An I-140 doesn't transfer to a new employer. The new employer would have to start the process over from scratch. The only thing that you can keep is the priority date from the old I-140.

Did you get paid? The IRS has a form on their website to report if you didn't get a W2. They will then contact the employer.

A company cannot request payment for the H1. That's in the law.

Nobody is going to believe this "just for replacement". No store owner hands over the cash register to some arbitrary person. You worked without authorization, most likely regularly. That of course comes back to bite you. Seek the help of an immigration lawyer.

If they stayed abroad for more than a year their GCs are invalid and can not be used. You would have to file for new GCs for them, form I-130 with Consular Processing.

No issue. Your spouse's H4 doesn't depend on an employer, it depends on your H1.

The time on L1 and H1 is combined. You would only get a full 6 years on H1 if you are abroad for at least a year.

You would have to live with the child abroad for a year before the child could get a dependent visa. See https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/Intercountry-Adoption/Adoption-Process/before-you-adopt/adoption-by-non-us-citizens-living-in-us.html

You absolutely have to be outside the country for a year before a new H1 in the lottery can be filed. And day 1 cpt is a bad idea to begin with. It will cause problems with getting an H1 later on.
