I am a US citizen, and want to petition my husband, who is TNT. He came to the US from Canada, without any visa. He was sitting in the back seat of his cousin’s car, and when they came to the border, the immigration officer asked the cousin a few questions, and let them go through. The officer did not ask my husband anything.

Dear Attorney Gurfinkel,
I am currently an H-1B visa holder, but ever since I came to the US, I  never worked for the employer who petitioned me. My visa will expire in  a few months. Fortunately, I was able to find another employer who is  willing to sponsor me. Will I encounter any problems with the USCIS if I  file for a change of employer?

Dear Attorney Gurfinkel,
I am currently an H-1B visa holder, but ever since I came to the US, I  never worked for the employer who petitioned me. My visa will expire in  a few months. Fortunately, I was able to find another employer who is  willing to sponsor me. Will I encounter any problems with the USCIS if I  file for a change of employer?
