There would likely not be too much of a problem with the H-1B transfer so long as the H-1B extension and the H-1B transfer are both approvable cases. However, if you wish to be cautious, you can wait until the time that the H-1B transfer by company B is adjudicated. It should be quick since the petition is under premium processing, which means that U.S.C.I.S. will reach the case within 15 days. At the time of adjudication, U.S.C.I.S. will also give a decision on whether to grant you an extension in the United States. In the event that you decide not to take company B’s job, you can always ask the company to withdraw the H-1B and cancel the approval.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you and/or your spouse contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your spouse's situation. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze your spouse's case and advise you of your options.

If you are a US citizen over 21, you could sponsor your mother for her green card and a green card would be available very soon as she is your immediate relative. As for your sister, she would fall into the family preference category and would have to wait for her visa to become available. You can check the processing times on the State Dept. web site. If your sister can alternatively qualify under an E2 visa, then she should retain counsel to expedite the acquisition of that visa. Good luck.
