Re: H1-B Visa & Spouse Cannot Work?
Thanks for everyone's comments. After reading about the visa requirements further, it seems that the best option for me would be to try to get an L-1B visa with my wife having an L-2 visa.
Since this visa comes under the doctrine of dual intent, I am assuming after 5 years (expiration of the visa), the green card can then be applied for? or is that in parallel to the L-1 visa period?

The green card can be applied for immediately, I believe.

Stay as far from H1-B and EB3 category as you possibly can.

Wife has come back from insanity. Now she says she'll never work again.....
