---- Yes, it is wise to state the reasons for the lack of pay stubs for the months that you are not paid. Maternity leave is legal and valid reason for non payment. It may be accompanied by a doctor's medical certificate to make it look more authentic. You may also check with your comapany's attorney for the exact wordings of the document

Best of luck

A typical maternity leave is 6 weeks for normal delivery and 8 weeks for C-section. Beyond that, you will need letter from your physician or your child's physician to support further time off without pay.

Once could choose to use FMLA after the 6-8 weeks of paid maternity leave (benefit/STD depending on employer) with pay provided by the employer and go on unpaid leave. The job is protected by FMLA and as long the employee/employer relationship exists, the H1b status holds good.

It is also advisable to get payslips from the employer showing zero pay citing unpaid leave.
