Exact dates would be helpful here. As far as I can tell, if she left there would be no 3 year bar upon re-entry. There might be problems at the foreign consulate obtaining a visa however. This might be more appropriate for a phone consultation. That way we can talk more specifics. If not, please indiciate more detail about the "certificate not being good" and the date the H-1b was valid until. If she stays longer than 6 months past her I-94 validity, a 3 year bar to re-entry will attach if she leaves the country. |
