Haha get that K1 visa

legally till I94 expires but with out of status. Also, can file B2 COS or H4 if applicable. Once they find a job they can file COS to H1 and withdraw the application. If following second option they won’t be out of status.

How can one be legally here and yet out of status?

TLC has very good informational programming on this

Abide by the rules, there will be more chances in the future, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, UAE, Europe, you can also get paid similarly in these countries if you have the skills, it’s not the end of the world. There is a possibility of not being able to come to US when you go for stamping, even if you have a job. Keep a positive perspective and attitude I guess. Hope this helps.

A friend in need is a friend indeed i.e. marry your friend.

what is your friend's background? we are hiring.

He has a master’s in engineering management with previous work experience as business operations analyst. Happy to discuss more if there’s something he could be a good fit for 😊
