Visa Cancelled due to employer being blacklisted

[ShraddhaShetti]

My friend's F1 visa was recently revoked, and he was forced to return to India because his first employer had been placed on a blacklist. Also he has applied for an OPT extension which will provide him with an updated EAD, but we don't know how this would affect the process of getting the New EAD. He is working with a firm on a contract job now, but the end client which is a state gov company is considering him for Full time and can sponsor him for H1B. His old EAD expired on 9th of January. He was traveling from India to the States on 4th of January and was sent back. Questions: Is there any way that he could reinstate his Visa? Can the compnay sponsor H1B directly, if so what documents would the company need? If the H1B is picked, when can he travel back?

One of my friend also had a similar issue - his visa was revoked at the Port of Entry as previous employer was black listed under 22CFR122(e). He only has 1 week left for his current EAD to expire (stem extension request had been submitted in December).

Can this be re-instated. Does he have a ban. Will this affect his travel to other countries such as UK, UAE, Ireland, Australia in the months to come?
