If dismissed with prejudice, the arrest records by themselves will mean nothing. Expunging the records of an Alien will not eliminate them from access by USCIS and by Canada. They will not show up in a search by potential employers. YOU SHOULD involve a lawyer and get appropriate input. If it was a rehabilitative disposition, all bets are off.

My 2 cents is that you need to discuss the matter with a lawyer and make sure you answer those questions correctly.

You should run these questions by the college/DSO and follow her guidance fully.

Talk to a lawyer and soon, maybe the firm of Murthy or any of your choice so that all the options can be discussed.

That would be called Consular Processing and firstly the PD has to be current and the GC Sponsor has to give written confirmation about the job being available.

Unless you have worked for the initial sponsor, your H1 validity will be gone and hence no question of transfer.

She will in most likelihood not be given a tourist visa. You may need to wait for regime change in November.

Why would they need to be informed?

Medical residents on H1Visa start in July. They are not subject to the quota. As far as the OP, I have no idea.

Once you get your EAD, you may use that or H1 status for work. Since F2A is current, your GC should not take more than a year.

You should possibly run this question by the firm of Murthy or any of your choice. As a Canadian Citizen, you do not need a visa to enter in H4 status.

Get in touch with an Indian Lawyer dealing in such matters.

How does filing a COS let you work?

You should involve a lawyer.

Once your divorce is finalized, you can let the USCIS know. Vengeance can be a terrible taskmaster. Unless you are in a community property state, she cannot ruin you financially though you will take a hit.

https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states You could discuss the matter with an Immigration Lawyer should you choose. The merits may be debatable. But not paying tax on that Income here and not declaring it may lead to serious consequences. Silence is golden.

In these days of profound unrest and the possible cusp of change, it would be expedient for people responding to be polite and to the point instead of pontificating and using words betraying contempt of others. I have no idea why the Law Firm cannot ask for the norms to be followed especially if there is a recurrent and repetitive strain of hostile answers aimed at posters from one country. A simple answer would be "No B2, but K1".

It is possible to make a hash of the situation. Please ensure a lawyer is involved and files your AOS.

1. Ask the GC sponsor if they will remain interested. If not you can use that PD for a subsequent filing. 2. Ask HR/Your supervisor. 3. You do not have to inform anyone. 4. You could stay and drive until the COS petition is adjudicated. But if COVID is still an issue at that time and if there are no flights to your home country, that gives you a reason. Other reasons may be considered frivolous.

F4 is backlogged by 15 years. https://www.uscis.gov/i-130

Good Job. Thanks for the feedback. Why did you think she was only admitted for 3 months?

Firstly not after the fact. Look at https://www.uscis.gov/n-470 If in doubt, wait it out or if you deem the matter urgent, get lawyers take on it.

Have you discussed CSPA with your lawyer? Do not file for her without lawyer input.

Her overstay voids her existing visa. She can apply for another visa in the future.

Go with the winning letter name. Once you have the GC, then change your name.
