Hi,
I am currently on a H1 and have been working continuously with the same company for the last one and a half years. My H1 is valid till Dec 2008. Due to personal reasons I will need to go back to India and stay there for the next 6 to 8 months. My questions are :
1) Is there a limit to the amount of time that one can take leave while on a H1 ?
2) Will a long leave for 6-8 months affect my H-1 in any way provided I return to the US well before my H1 expires? (The consultancy that has sponsored my H1 does not mind me taking a long leave and is prepared to place me in a new project whenever I return).
3) Will I face any additional difficulties at the point of entry after taking a long leave while on a H1?
Thanks in advance
