Yes.

She is legal while the H4 petition is pending.

A staffing firm can't get H1s, because there wouldn't be an employer-employee relationship. Consulting firms are not staffing firms. And protecting against people "jumping ship" is easy: provide a good working environment, with group healthcare, decent salary, paid vacation, etc.

It would be gone.

She is banned for 3 years. She won t get a visa until the 3 years are over.

You have to wait for the approval.

The H1 is the employer's petition. You can not get an outside lawyer. An MTR doesn't give you any immigration rights. And an MTR doesn't allow changing things. ThE employer should have filed with the correct job title/soc code from the beginning.ave to stop working immediately and you have to leave the country.

Care to tell us which Institution this is? As per the law, for the Master's quota, the degree has to be from an accredited, public or non-profit private university. If the institution was for-profit when you got the degree you can not use the degree for the Master's quota. That's also what the RFE says. Tou would have to show that the institution is accredited, and is a public or non-profit private university.

There is no premium processing for H1s at this point.

The employer had to pay for the H1. There were no fees for you to pay. If you paid something, get it back from the employer. And next time stay away from any employer who wants you to pay for an H1. It is illegal.

Consular Processing requires a job offer from the employer who filed the I-140.

There is no sponsoring for visitor visas, as has been explained here thousands of times. Bank balance also doesn't matter. It is well known that money can be moved in and out of a bank account in seconds. The ONLY thing that matters is that the applicant can convince the consular officer that he or she will return to the home country. Again, that's the ONLY thing that matters. Forget all the stuff about sponsoring or bank balance or any other of the stuff that gets mentioned by clueless people on other forums. Use common sense. It is THAT simple.

I understood his post just fine: When an I-485 is filed for the child it is possible to file for an EAD, based on the I-485, as well. It is NOT possible to get an EAD for a child based on the L2 status. Different basis for the EAD.

That's why there is an interview where they go over the application with you. You can correct it at the interview. No big deal.

I already told you, you need to talk to a good immigration lawyer ASAP!
