That is fud! There is absolutely nothing wrong with expressing an intent to say in the U.S. legally. She could sing it from her balcony if she wanted. Her employer can file for an H1B visa before her opt expires. Seeing that she is not a Stem student she gets no extension on her opt. She doesn't need an attorney for this as her employer's attorney is the one that handles such. The question is now, does her employer want her badly enough and do they possess the ability to get her a H1B? As an English major this one would be tricky. I am not an attorney by I have first hand experience with such and much of the immigration system as I had to navigate myself through it. It's really a lot more straight forward than one would think (if you didn't break any immigrant laws and proceeds). The USCIS website is plenty helpful for that.
