  • Urgent clarification required on validity of H1B status

    Hi,

    I am working with a company on a H1B visa. I needed to go back to India for a short term and requested a sabbatical from my employer for the same. My employer has approved my request. I want to will be working with my employer till the end of January for which I will receive my pay check on 20th February due to the company's payroll processing schedule.

    My question is from what day will I be considered out of status by USCIS? Will it be my last working day (31st January) or will it be the day my payroll is processed and I receive my pay check (20th February)?

    Thanks

    This is my opinion not legal advice.

      It will be 60 days after your last working day (assuming your I-94 doesn't expire sooner), according to rules that recently went into effect.

      This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice.

        I was laid off as of January 4. Do you know if this rule will be applicable to my case?

          No it took effect January 17, 2017.
