My spouse and I are staying in the USA since last 10 years on work visa H-1B. We have our second daughter born in 2016 who is facing neurological disability which requires long term care and constant therapies. The current scenario is my husband's H-1B has denied and couldn't get back to the USA. I am here in the USA with my both kids on B2 Visa. My both kids are US Citizens. Is there any legislation which can provide legal stay to the parent of a child with disability in the USA?

The answer is "No". You can stay on a tourist visa. There are no special visas or green card for such situations. More...

USCIS now interprets the 24-month STEM OPT extension rule from 2016 to require a STEM OPT worker to be placed only at a worksite of the employer. In other words, the USCIS now says that any offsite placement, including at a third-party worksite, is prohibited. Will this affect the H1B petitions filed by employers for such opt students, where they are working at an end client location (not employer location) and the H1B petition was filed with end client details.
First of all to say that USCIS has changed its regulations and they do not allow off-site placements of STEM OPT extensions students is incorrect, because USCIS has said this from a very long time that they are not going to allow these placements. If you are in a situation, what can happen is you could be considered to be out of status for no fault of your own. So if you file an H-1B and if the government says well we think you're out of status hopefully that's all they can do, they can make you go outside the USA for a visa stamping.
I have no words to describe my heartfelt gratitude to Attorney Khanna and his excellent team for their hard work during the processing of my green card. I had previously filled out the client book when my self-petitioned I-140 was approved. A long time passed between that and the I-485 stamping which warrants me to add something more about Attorney Khanna and his team.
Attorney Khanna and the people in his office are fully accessible and in spite of their busy schedules will contact you within a day if you have any questions. Sometimes you get answers to your queries on the weekends too. All paperwork is efficiently processed and throughout the tedious and time consuming process of multiple EADs, APs etc, not once did I have any problems. They will patiently answer your questions without charging you (which is such a rarity in today's world). I have had no hesitation in recommending my friends and family to Attorney Khanna for his legal services because I know that they will be in good hands, as was I. My sincere thanks to Attorney Khanna's team some of whom, like Diane Lombardo, Mathew Chacko, Leila Lehman and Suman Bhasin, I had the privilege of talking to during the processing of my case. Great team indeed !
Feel free to email me if anyone has questions about the law office of Attorney Khanna.
Best Regards.
