Dear Sajha Parivar, Earlier this week, a couple of my friends asked me the following immigration related questions, and I did not know exactly how to answer them except for requesting them to go the immigration lawyers. Both hold F-1 visas and are doing their studies in colleges. Here are the questions:

1. She has an america-born baby boy of three years, and she expects that her eduction will be over within a year. What happens if she does not get a job and cannot transfer her status to H-1 (?) or for the GC? How can she legally stay here in the US and take care of the baby? She is a devorcee, and her husband went back to Nepal for family reasons.

2. Related to this is another question: can she file for the H-1 and GC if she is accepted for the post-doc, by the way?
Thank you for your suggestions,
Sincerely,
Sakuntala, Texas
