1. Apply for jobs saying she does not require sponsorship > if she receives and accepts an offer > immediately apply for marriage GC and should be able to receive EAD before OPT expiration meaning she would not require sponsorship.

Will she need to disclose this to the recruiter?
Will recruiters ask for proof of marriage during recruiting process given this scenario?
Would she be treated the same as a US citizen in this instance?
Will this be fine with most companies?
Does applying for Marriage GC during OPT affect OPT?
Is it difficult for the companies to go from OPT > Marriage GC in terms of work authorization?

2. Apply for jobs saying she requires sponsorship > receive and accept offer > if she doesn't pass H-1B lottery > immediately apply for marriage GC and receive EAD before OPT expiration (tighter timeline, but possible)

Are companies pretty adaptive around this arrangement or would this be an issue?

Any help appreciated

One of ex’s friends who is I met twice, has been in touch, him and his wife, like commenting on some of my posts occasionally (we are just fb friends and IG friends). I never saw them since. Then the friend texts asking if I am seeing someone and that he wants to set me up with someone. He felt awkward doing that, I thanked him for thinking of me, but then he said we all told your ex he is an idiot for letting you go and they asked my ex it they could still be touch with me and he said yes.

My friend just got out of a relationship and hooked up with his ex's best friend a week later. They're now dating and seeing each other everyday.
I couldn't help but feel like this wasn't an appropriate thing to do for both parties. He also revealed that he cheated on his past exes.

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?
