Can an employee remain on Unpaid Leave of Absence of H1-B if he/she is outside the US and as soon as they return to USA it'll be converted to Active Employee with Pay? Thank you

Dear all, Can you please help with this question below. I've lived in USA for 8 years on H1-B with 1-140 approved 3 years ago. Last year, I've received Canadian PR and moved to Canada in October 2018. If I want to move back to USA after 3 years say 2022, will I still be eligible for Cap Exempt H1-B on previously approved I-140. Is there a time limit on Cap exempt validity? Thank you

I believe they're doing blanket denials regardless of what documentation you submit if your job is in IT and have non CS degree. It's kinda scary but it's a fact these days. They're going by the guidelines given by the current administration to simply deny if a petition is a computer related job and the degree is non CS not matter if you've computer courses in your non CS degree and pages of evaluation your attorney submits. However, this is again on case by case basis and depends on other factors. Current Unemployment at its low with US Citizens, Non immigrants(H-1b and H4 EAD's and so on ) have jobs and working to keep this great nation's economy strong. where's the job shortage? Good luck to all in this situation.

Daya: IF you have around 13 years in IT field. Ask your attorney if he can convert every 3 years of experience as 1 year of the degree in IT. I've seen people doing that conversion, so in your case I believe you'll have 4 years degree in a related field combining your years of exp. good luck

Hello Kiran: How did you contact Fordham University for evaluation? It looks like they're a Theology University for the most part and they don't even have school of Engineering. Could you please give some additional information like what's the procedure for evaluation with them? Thanks, B.Govindam
