Bidya Shakya from USA asked:
Question:
I have recently found a job and the company has agreed to sponsor for H1 as well. However do I have to go back to Nepal to convert H4 visa to H1 Visa? Thank you.
Answer:
You can change your H-4 status to an H-1B by filing an I-129H petition with the USCIS right here in the United States. You are not required to return to Nepal only for this urpose.

I am currently in USA and applying for a green card on exceptional ability category. I am planning to marry a Nepali girlfriend who is also in USA on a B1/B2 visa, but her visa has just expired by over 90 days. How is that going to affect to my Greencard? How can I help her and convert her status as mine? Do I have to wait until I get a US citizenship (5 yrs!!) to make her a legal alien? I appreciate any advices. Thanks.
