@Larry D Since your wife came to US on visitors visa, she should hold back not leaving US until I-485 gets approved. she could be subject to additional scrutiny at port of entry when she tries to reenter because of her past entry into US on visitors visa & subsequently filing I-130/485.

Based on timeline I believe you are eligible for 7th year H-1B (1 year increment) since your PERM was filed before start of 6th year of H-1B.

I believe it is due to visa waiver program. Your best option is go for consular processing. You might have to file I-824 to move approved I-130 from USCIS service center to NVC to continue consular processing. Visa waiver program applicants are barred from adjusting status (filing I-485) in US.

Assuming your employer/attorney timely completes recruitment portion. It will take 11-12 months to get labor certification, if it goes under audit there is going to be additional 2-3 months

I believe your priority date is current right now, (USCIS is allowing date of filing for Apr & May 2023). Prepare & file I-485, you will be called for personal interview, take with you correct I-130 signature page and turn over to USCIS officer.

Visa refusal can be for many reasons which can be pertaining to employer or employee. You should be able to get new H-1B from different employer this year as long as previous H-1B refusal is not attributed to you.

After you enter US, you can apply H-4 EAD for your spouse as long I-140 is not revoked by USCIS. If I-140 from your L1 employer remains active you can file I-485 whenever priority date becomes but I highly doubt, normally employers withdraw I-140 if employee no long works for them. Your H-1B...

Allow your employer and or its legal team decide actual content of AD. Anyway you are not suppose to be part of it.

DOL has published newspaper AD content format for PERM. If any of the elements are missing then it might risk being denied.

Does your new H-1B employer has job available for you ? If yes then you can travel otherwise its little risky.

Your I-140 is approved for work location as mentioned in I-140, as long as that position remains available you can file I-485. So after filing I-485 and after it remains pending for 180 days based on AC 21 you can move to different employer if you choose to. If you are with same employer who...

Technically speaking if job is no more available, H-1B is gone too. Safe approach is to find new job have your employer file new I-129.

Under I-864 part 6 Q. 7 you would write 0, Q.8 you would write your brother's in law's name & his income, put check mark on line 21. 24 a, b & c write combined income for your sister & brother in law for past 3 years and your brother will prepare & sign I-864A. You need to follow this route for...

I believe H-1B is approved on your behalf but no change in status from H-4 to H-1B. For you to have H-1B status get started you need to step out of the country get H-1B visa stamp & re-enter on H-1B.

I-94 number will not change no matter how many status changes you do while in US. As long as you have i-94 you are good. Now that your status is changed to H-1B you are suppose to start working for that employer. You are no more on H-4, your current status is H-1B.

If your prior I-140 employer has that same job available & willing to sign I-485 supplement J then you can file I-485 when priority date becomes current, otherwise you might to get start from scratch with new employer i.e. new PERM and I-140 and you will port your priority date & should be able...

I believe it is April 2024 that is when your wife will fulfill requirements to being married to US citizen for 3 years since you became US citizen in April 2021. You wife file application in Jan 2024, 3 months ahead of April 2024.

LCA's have provision to include 3 work locations. Your employer needs to decide based on work requirements which location can be primary, secondary and so so. H-1B's employee's home location can be included as remote work location if that is what the job calls for.
