She still has a passport from Cameroon and was denied immigration visa. She is only studying and working in Canada, so I'm assuming she has a visa.
She still needs a visa to travel to the US and she is going to have a very difficult time getting a visitor visa. She'll be denied because she already has another visa denial, she has no strong ties to Cameroon (or Canada), and consulate in Canada is particularly difficult. 
 
You should visit her in Canada. At least it's closer. If you are eligible for a TN visa, you could go to work in Canada and live wherever she is studying and working. You might also be able to get a dependent visa from her Canadian visa.
 

You can do it in a third country if you are a resident of that country or are living/working/studying in that country. Usually you cannot even get an appointment if you don't have a reason to be there.
 
That said, one thing you can try is to ask the company doing the H1B for you if they can arrange something for you in another country. My sister did an H1B through AOS (from F1) in the US. Her company has HQ in Europe. Our citizenship is not from an European country and it would have taken way too long for her to travel to our country, get a stamp, and then be able to travel to Europe for a meeting. So because the company has strong ties to the European country, they managed to get her an appointment in the European country consulate and they did her H1B without problems while she was attending meetings and traveling there.
 
So if your company has an office in a country where it'd be easy to get a stamp, then maybe they can invite you to that country in some way? To attend meetings, you wouldn't need a visa for the third country. Also, the lawyers doing the H1B paperwork should know where you can go for the visa because they are dealing with these issues, so they should be consulted.
 
I guess what I'm saying is, don't make the decision unilaterally. Your company might decide you can work from home in Canada for X months and they would rather wait for you to get an appointment there. Or they might have a way to get you an "emergency" appointment in Canada saying you will be loosing money if you don't get to the US ASAP (that's usually a way to expedite things). 

So you basically are admitting to having asked an employer to apply for a green card for you or a work visa, when you are on an F1 but you need to be full-time student and cannot work outside of the university (unless you use CPT or OPT post-grad but it's very limited)
. 
And I'm sorry, but employers don't go offering jobs to random students. You should have said that you are a full-time student and you would contact them when you finished your degree. If they wanted you to work illegally, then it was not something useful for your field of study. A reputable employer is not risking hiring someone illegally unless is like dishwasher or something like that.
 
For 26 years old you sound very naive or unaware of basics of what a full-time student is. I recommend you study in another country. You won't be able to come back for 5 years.
 
Maybe this place where you were studying has online classes or the new university can accept some of your credits. Or if your university as a "college abroad" program or exchange program, you could see if you can take classes at other universities that could count towards your degree (if you have very little left, this could be an option). Most reputable universities have exchange programs.

I wouldn't travel. When you come back with OPT you get a lot of questions because you are in a weird position (not a student but not a work permit). You are entirely at the disposal of the CBP agent. I've had friends that had problems and you are also at the end of your OPT with an H1B approved.
 
Either check if you can get your visa stamp and enter 10 days before October 1 (the day of your first day on H1B), or postpone the trip. FYI some countries have long delays for appointment while others don't. 

Employers don't do an L1 to let you go a few months later. L1 is expensive because they have to hire a lawyer. You also have experience in your own company. My partner had an L1 and the size of his application was like a heavy book. He didn't do anything; the lawyers mailed by FEDEX all the paperwork. 
 
You have a great opportunity. Like others said, you can do AOS while you are in the US with the L1 and your application will continue it's course.
 
L1 will make your transition much smoother. Make sure you get paid for relocation and all of that. 
 

It’s not actually different - one is just more precise than the other, right ?

I’m a K1 visa holder currently waiting on my AOS. 
filed for AOS in Feb and did biometrics in March. 
 
I’m curious if I would be permitted to purchase a handgun or if I legally need to wait until I receive my green card. The atf form is a bit confusing with regard to immigration status as the k1 is a non-immigrant visa but with an immigrant AOS file under processing. 
 
thanks. 

My fiance and I is planning to do this online marriage for the purpose of being together after the marriage but we cant consummate it because he cant come here in the Philippines. Can we use it instead, as a requirement for a fiance visa (not a spousal visa) so that i'll be able to come to the US 

Unless you get married, it's very difficult.
 
In addition to the other options people have given, if you are currently working for a multinational company with US presence, they can transfer you to the US with an L1 visa.
 
If you have a good career + education + work experience, but it's really hard unless you are a software engineer with some contacts or something like that.

@SusieQQQ
yes and I understand by now that that was the reason I was denied entry at that time. But isn’t it just common sense to talk about the possible future, its not equal to an intention for me.
 
my evidence would be that me and my girlfriend agreed to move to Germany after I complete my masters degree. Further I have a strong social life with engagements  in a soccer club. All of my family is also here and we are very close. My mom and dad are not in a good shape health wise, so I want to support them again as soon as possible. Also I want to use my degree to apply at Mercedes-Benz where I had an internship and they are located here. It’s my dream position and going for an international master is benefiting me for that.

So sorry this happened to you. Happened to me as well, we applied for land loan, went through entire process with the bank aware of the expired GC but at the very end the underwriter said he was unfamiliar with the 24mnth extension letter therefore it was not enough proof. 😤
 
Apply for N400 if you can. Good luck 

Yes, to be explicit about this:  Either: they go the legal route and get a student visa for her, which per the extracts above requires paying the full cost of attendance and the school cannot waive that; or they do it illegally and bring her in on a B visa and enroll her for “free”, but that will lead to her being unlawfully present (she is not allowed by law to be enrolled in school on a B visa) and even if some if it is before she turns 18, the fact of doing that will both void the B visa, making it unlikely she will get another one, and almost certainly means she will never get a student visa for college. 

This is INCORRECT INFORMATION. Your school must presumably not have much experience with students on visas. As per one of the links I posted for you earlier - I am wondering if you read them? - this is true even if who they are staying with is resident in the school District.
 
Foreign students who want to attend public secondary school (high school) must pay the full cost of education. This amount is listed under "tuition" on the student's Form I-20. If the Form I-20 does not include the cost of tuition, the student must have a notarized statement, signed by the designated school official (DSO) who signed the Form I-20, stating the full cost of tuition and that the student paid the tuition in full. The full, unsubsidized per capita (for each student) cost of education is the cost of providing education to each student in the school district where the public school is located. Costs normally range between $3,000 and $10,000. The student secondary school cost reimbursement requirement is mandatory and school systems cannot waive the reimbursement requirement.
 
Foreign students may come to the United States to live with U.S. citizen relatives while attending public school. The child is limited to twelve months of study in secondary school (high school). The child may not study in elementary school. It should be noted however, that the student's status as a resident of the school district and the fact that the U.S. citizen has paid local property/school taxes is irrelevant and does not fulfill the cost reimbursement requirement of Section 214(m) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Therefore, the full tuition costs must be paid to the school or school district.

The school may not check immigration status but your niece will not get a visa and will not be in the US legally if she does not follow the correct procedure. If she doesn’t do this part legally, forget about her getting a visa to study or probably even to visit later on.
 

How could the end of May 2022 qualify you as having worked for the company at least one year out of the last three years when you didn't start until the end of June 2021? 
 
The one year requirement means exactly that -- one year, i.e, 365 days.  You will not complete one year of work until the end of your work day on June 28, so the earliest date you could be issued an L1 would be June 29, 2022.

Let me understand this correctly. 
You entered the US sometime in June-August 2021. 
Your wife decided marriage wasn't for her when? 
And not even a year later you've decided you love someone else?
 
My generous interpretation of your question and answer:
1.) You should try to work on the marriage with your wife. Usually the first year is the most difficult. 
 
My honest answer: 
2.) You should go back home because adjusting via your current wife when you are in a relationship/ in love with someone else seems like immigration fraud. 
 
Also you should be honest with the interviewer. You are no longer in love and are no longer in a bonafide relationship... 

Why would we do that? Of course not.
 
It's not. But I see your point.

Hi. I've run into an unexpected situation and would greatly appreciate some advice.
 
Last summer, I've entered the US under a K1 visa and married my fiancé. We've been married for almost a year now. I'm doing quite well, but unfortunately, my spouse isn't finding married life to be the right choice for her lifestyle, and she'd like to divorce. However, she feels really bad about divorcing me because I'm a really nice guy and there's nothing wrong with me... Therefore, she's introduced me to a friend of hers who really likes me, hoping that we would be interested in becoming a couple. As it turns out, my present wife is great matchmaker, because her friend is a really good fit for me... So, our plan at the moment is to remain married until I'm issued a green card, then we'll divorce, and then I'll be free to marry her friend, assuming that her friend will still be still interested in me by that time.
 
My questions are:
Assuming that I'm going to be issued a conditional green card instead of the regular one, what steps should I take to have the conditions removed after divorcing my first wife and marrying her friend?
Also, I've already been issued a social security number and a 2-year work permission, so I can support myself. Does this mean that my second wife won't have to prove her ability to support me financially?
Lastly, I'd like to ask for any relevant advice in general and things to watch out for in a situation like this.
 
 

I came across a lady from Germany who wanted to claim asylum on a similar basis.
 
I would find an Employer who is willing to sponsor you for a work visa.

I am sure the OO was fully aware of what he was signing up for 

I doubt you'll be able to come to the wedding with visa waiver if you leave August 8. You are risking getting denied which means no visa waiver for you for a very long time.
 
If you want to come to the wedding, leave June 8 when you EAD expires or soon after.

If you look online for the name of the university and the word "scam" you can find plenty of articles saying it's a scam.  Also, you have 15 years of experience and this is the school you wanted to go to? The graduate program from this place is going to improve your resume by 0% The only thing it will improve is your chance to work in the US

If you overstay, you're not going to get a tourist visa.  You're not coming back next year to visit.  Simple as that.  

Wow…
