I consulted my colleague, Allen Kaye, a New York immigration attorney, and he advises as follows:
No problem for him. Could be a problem for her in adjusting her status in the US to permanent resident. She may have to pick up her immigrant visa overseas. He can get it here. Suggest that they call me to schedule an appointment to discuss their cases.

Have you attempted to switch her over to H-4 status? You should contact a lawyer immediately to explore how you can maintain her status. Good luck!

Thank you for your inquiry. As your wife is no longer working for the company that sponsored her H-1B visa she is out of status. You can apply for H-4 status but she will need to leave the US and pick up her stamp at a US consulate before she re-enters on the H-4. Please feel free to contact me to discuss the same at 619.233.0900.
