Best thing you can do is to apply now for her COS to H4 and EAD at the same time. She can work till the H1 expiry and when H4 and EAD are approved she can switch over to H4 and work. Her GC processing can continue while she is on H4.

Even thought you are leaving for good, you should consult an attorney. It will always be on your record as you overstayed and will be difficlt to correct later.

Its better to reapply.

I was told there are no appointments till 2021, are you seeing anything different?

You should consult an attorney. Both options are equally bad, but there might be a way around for you if you take few precautions. Its good to talk to an attorney about those rather than a public forum.

You can apply for visa stamping, but I dont think consulates are issuing visas now. Even if you get a visa stamped now, you can't travel till the ban is lifted.

Ban doesn't doesn't mention that people who are within the US on June 24 can travel out of US to get a new visa and come back in.

No issues, since you traveled and got a visa and came back. You should be able to apply for extension usually.

Its ok as you have filed it with a NPT. Visa status is not tied to medical insurance. You can stay as long as the petition is pending.

I am assuming you work for Emp A for more than 1 year, then a 14 day notice is pretty common. After the transfer is approved give old employer a 14 day notice and you should be good to move to the new employer. If you I140 is approved for more than 180 days, new employer can port the PD.

Your Max out date will still be 6/2021 unless you have a i140 from the new employer by then. Even if you have a I797 till 2022, I don't think its a good idea to stay if you dont have an i140 to back it up. You should consult an attorney.

No issues, you can use the old employer visa stamp and new employers I797 and travel. You should show the new I797 at POE to get an I94 on basis of it.

1. You can still use you I140 with new employer till you PD is current 2. Your PD as per the I140 from old employer. 4. Yes, you will be able to apply for 3 years on the basis of the approved I140 from old employer which was approved for more than 180 days.

1. No 2. Yes 3. Its not needed.

No issues, he can travel with old employers visa stamp and new employers i797 approval notice. Show the new I797 at POE to get the I94 accordingly.

May 15th.

I don't think there will be a 2nd round. USCIS never indicated there will be a 2nd round.

1. As long as your employer allows you to work remotely you can work from India. No time limit. 2. No issues on the US side, but check with a CA to see if you have to file taxes in India too.

You should atleast have the I129 petition sent to USCIS by the last date of your grace period. Just accepting an offer doesn't mean anything. If they are not able to file in time, you should consider B2 visa. Check with the attorney and they should be able to speedup the paperwork as you have a time crunch.

Its better you apply for H4 and H4 ead with C's petition again. Unfortunately you will again have to wait for 6 more months for the new H4 and H4 EAD.

You can do it. But how will the client provide the client letter and prove that EE relationship will be satisfied when he must have given a similar letter for current employer too. Its tricky to do it when a petition is pending.

Usually that's how it is. If you COS is pending and you apply for H1 then it will not come back with an I94 as you are waiting for other petition to put you back into status. Yes, it will take 5 months if you are lucky. If you have a valid visa, you can apply for H1 and travel to the border to go out and come back in on H1. This will invalidate the B2 and you will be on H1 when you come back in, provided the travel is an option at this time.

You should wait for the consulates to open and see how they are will deal with it. Anyone's guess is good as yours. My Guess is they will allow everyone who's appointments are cancelled to reschedule their appointments. But the travel ban has to be lifted before the visa's can be issued and people can travel.

Yes, USCIS is accepting renewals.
