Prospects for international law students in USA
I currently live in Seattle. My wife is going to come soon in Seattle on H4 Visa. She has recently completed her masters in law in India and also worked on some paid research projects in India. Now, we are not sure what is the best way that she can continue her career in law. We did some research about studying law in USA(Masters) and then finding jobs. We found that chances of getting jobs after LLM is very less. I have also waiting for H4 EAD for her but I am not sure how easy it would be to get job even after that. What are the best options can someone recommend for our case? Or can share their story if they were in same situation in past? Thanks for your suggestions.

h4 ead is not going to sunset its the trump admin thats going to sunset after next election. Look at the number of women in congress.
have her enroll in a good law college and she will have good opportunities. I doubt that llm from india will get her a job.
Can she become a cross border specialist to help people who have complicated cases involving businesses or assets spanning India and the US? She might be able to become a paralegal in both countries and facilitate certain kinds of transactions. Don't know if there is demand for that just brainstorming.
Llm and bar exam is your best bet, unless You want to spend 3 more years for a JD But even if you do, any interesting legal jobs like US attorney, district attorney etc is off limits did to citizenship status
Sorry to break it to you but for lawyers, doctors or anything that requires a license, especially with the soon to be sunsetting h4 ead, opportunities are very bleak in the US. This is something I urge every h1 getting married to evaluate before marriage.
H4 ead is not sunsetting. Please dont spread false facts.
Well, if you consider an entry in Federal rules register as rumor, then sure.
