  • Loss of pay leave on H1 visa

    Hi,

    I am on H1 extension now and planning on going on loss of pay leave.
    I still have my job with my employer, but will be in US without receiving any pay.
    Will this cause my h1 to go 'out of status' ?

    Thanks,

    You can take leave without pay only if you leave the country. Your H1B must be valid with current employer during leave without pay.

      Loss of pay on H1

      Got the answer to my query from the USCIS website:

      -----------------------------------------------------------
      Must an H-1B alien be working at all times?

      As long as the employer/employee relationship exists, an H-1B alien is still in status. An H-1B alien may work in full or part-time employment and remain in status. An H-1B alien may also be on vacation, sick/maternity/paternity leave, on strike, or otherwise inactive without affecting his or her status.

      ================================================

      Please let me know if anyone has any conflicting experience
