Hi,
I got a question related to 12 months of unpaid vacation on Maternity.
My wife is on H1B started in October 1st 2012. We recently came to know that she is pregnant. She wants to take an unpaid vacation for one year for maternity.
• Her payroll is not run in October and November as she was dealing with first 2 months of pregnancy.
• She got her SSN on November 20th 2012.
• She was on H4 Visa before she came to H1B visa. My H1B was due for extension on October 1st 2012 and I did not apply for her H4 as she is on H1 starting October 1st 2012.
Question:
1. Is there way to amend the current H1B or stay on H1B without running the Payroll as her payroll was never started? Just to avoid the conversion of visa status again.
2. If the above is not a feasible option and status Conversion is the only option,
• Does conversion from current H1B to H4 needs pay stubs/payroll?
• And does her conversion from H4 to H1 after a year needs any pay stubs?
• When she converts back to H1 an year after, does she needs to convert to only her current employer or can she convert H1B any employer in market.
• Finally, does she need to wait for quota for H4 to H1B after a year or can she convert any time irrespective of quota.
Please help me with this request. Thanks in advance.
