A friend of mine has a green card, and has filed an I-130 for her husband. She is eligible for citizenship in another year, so will upgrade the petition after that.
Her husband came to the US a couple of months ago on an H1 from a consultancy. The consultancy had provided client letters etc, so everything was done in good faith from his side. As it turns out, there was no project and he is now on the bench without pay.
If he leaves now, will this out-of-status period present a problem when applying for the green-card at the consulate in the home country (assuming he is fully honest with the consulate about what happened)? Is it only unlawful presence/deportation which creates a problem?
