It doesn't need to processed. For I864, include a copy of everything that you sent to US.

The B2 cos receipt notice does give you an authorized stay while it is being processed. It does not give you any status though unless it's approved. However it is taking more than a year to process it and the maximum it will allow you to stay is 6 months. You have to leave the US regardless within 6 months while it's pending. If you stay beyond 6 months and you get the approval for 6 months, any stays beyond 6 months will be considered overstay. If your B2 is denied and you are still in the US, the entire stay from Sep 11 will be considered overstay.
 
 If your employer files for H1B transfer while B2 cos is pending, your B2 has to be approved first before your h1b can be approved because you won't have any status to change it back to H1b when it's filed. You can't work for your new employer when H1B transfer is filed unlike usual H1B transfer where one can start work while it is processed. You don't have a valid status for H1B transfer while b2 is pending so you cannot work.

Not exactly sure on H1b, it shows around 3 months for student visas. I'd still expect at least 2 months. Interview waiver is a possibility which will reduce the overall time for sure.
 
 
What do you mean you don't have an expiry date on i94. Unlike the student status, any h1b should have the expiry date on i94 whether it's through CBP or through Uscis within the US. What's there on your i94 exactly?
 
 
You could technically apply online for COS to B2 that will allow you to stay in the US while it's processed. With up to 1 year or more of processing time for B2, it will very likely be denied at that time. You new H1b cannot be approved until B2 is approved. So you will likely accrue months of unlawful presence through that way. 

At this hour, leaving the US asap is the only choice. How long it takes for visa interview or how long it takes for your employer to file lca then h1b are secondary things atm.
 

May be, if i were you, i'd leave the US by tomorrow.

Yeah OP thought the 18 months extension started from 12/17/2020 when in fact it started from the GC expiry date and so had already expired by that time. He was still saying the extension was valid when he started this post. 
 
To the OP: 
You started the post giving wrong info just to have everyone blame the airlines and just to make unnecessary calls to different parties when the airlines was correct in denying the boarding.
 
Make sure you provide the correct info and follow what you've been advised based on your latest info (hopefully those are correct info). 

Unfortunately the State Department, not the uscis, issues passports so their policy supersedes the uscis statements. The state department requirement is to provide original evidence of citizenship when applying for a passport.

You want the complication or direct denial with no chance of change of status or transfer after being out of status.

Two choices but only 1 smart path.
 
1. Leave the US before Saturday. You wouldn't be out of status. Your employer will file for H1B and you will appear for the visa interview. The complication of visa stamping is natural.
 
2. Stay in the US beyond Saturday and then go out of status. Any H1b extensions or transfer or change of status will ultimately be denied. You then have to leave US regardless after accumulating bunch of overstays. This may prevent any non immigrant visas down the road.

Note that sometimes it's best not to poke the bear and let them take as many years as possible so that the derivative kids can immigrate together even if they are way over 21.

If she plans to take a break for few months and then start a good paying job again, it will be fine. She is not required to maintain the current job but she or you need to have a good income (preferably backed up by several current paystubs) at the time of the interview. The only risk is if the AOS interview occurs while both of you are unemployed. In that case you'll need a joint sponsor.
 
Any one who has an approved or pending immigrant petition can file for AOS or concurrently file as long as their PD is current. It doesn't need to be a spouse of a USC or an LPR.

It would work to transfer cash to your account if you can provide clear evidence it is an inheritance instead of a loan.  Cash is liquid, but real estate is more problematic because you must provide evidence of it's worth and evidence of your equity (or that it's paid off).  If you have enough cash, you can ignore the real estate for purposes of the I-864.

Gold diggers are everywhere in every country and in every gender. Consider yourself lucky you are now not marrying her just to get bankrupted. I was just reading a news about a man who got duped into marriage just to get murdered by his newly wed wife for money in my birth country.

There is a reason they have his a GC. Use that along with the DR passport to fly back to the US.

OP has no option but boarding foil, aka an I-131A ($575 and hassle, but will get one, as the absence is less than 1 year and are still a current LPR) or trying a land border (hassle). Pick one.  

Next time (and for anyone else reading this) please try post all  pertinent facts and information in the main post, along with dates, as it is not possible to accurately assist without them, and it saves time for everyone having to tease information out piece by piece. 

Just file for AOS package with all relevant forms and documents. The sooner the better. No need of any explanation on why you chose to stay required for filing. Your banking or rentals or employment from UK are irrelevant.
