asap_0004 Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 If I plan to take a UNPAID mental well-being leave lasting a few months, how might this impact my H-1B status? Quote Link to comment
asap_0004 Posted November 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Not sure whether this leave comes under FMLA or not Quote Link to comment
Zodiac System Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 You are allowed to take leave under H1b. This is how ladies take maternity leave. Not sure about the FMLA part though. Take care of your health first. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment
Attorney_24 Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Determination on whether an H-1B maintained valid status during the unpaid leave period will be on a case-by-case basis. Various factors including reasons for the leave, supporting documentation, expectation of continuation employment after the leave period etc will be taken into consideration by the USCIS. Do consult with one of our attorneys as unpaid leave may generally have negative implications on H-1B status. Quote Link to comment
