  1. Las Vegas will be surprised to learn this.
  2. FWIW, I have multiple degrees (including two Masters) and I still had to drop a few levels coming into the US looking for work. It didn't worry me because I just needed my foot in the door and I knew, once I was hired, I could prove my worth. Sure enough, it worked and within months I got my first promotion and within a couple of years, I was back at the level I was in my homeland. Now? I earn close to double what I used to earn in Australia and I will retire close to 10 years earlier than anticipated. #LandOfOpportunity
  3. Nothing in immigration is quick, unfortunately. It seems like the plan was for her to adjust status. That route won't work, and the good folk here are providing the best advice. He files. She returns home, but continues to visit in compliance with ESTA. She gets her visa.
  4. Maybe you can travel to her for Christmas? In my opinion only, she is abusing her tourist visa to effectively live and work in the US. And she's now looking for a way via the F1 to - I presume - 'study' and continue to work for her employer, I'm guessing. I'd be cautious. And it's worth her and you making sure you both know the terms and conditions of her tourist visa, and abiding by them.
  5. How long are you looking to travel. A few days / couple of weeks shouldn't make any difference.
  6. And the brother can't wait it out in the US. Best thing is for his brother to file for him, and his brother abides by the rules of his tourist visa and leaves.
  7. You will need to apply for work authorization: it's one of the BIGGEST drawbacks of the K1, and one that is well and openly articulated.
