=> First of all you should be paid all the time on H1b. With valid reason you may be on long term leave (as you case), but you should have paystubs for every pay cycle. This paystubs may be 0 payments. Ask your employer to provide you paystubs even with 0 salary. If you don't have paystub, how will you prove you were related to your employer for last 3 months? USICS would also be interested to know this. No employer - employee relationship means no H1b status.

Thanks for the Reply!!

I have pay stubs till April and after that I do not have any pay stubs but I have the email exchange between me and my company about me going on Maternity leave will that help?

=> USCIS wants paystubs to show the relationship with employer. Even if you are on leave, employer should give you the paystub mentioning your PTO or leave or leave code and the amount may be $0.

I was at he similar situation and mine was approved . I have attached 3 months pay stub prior to the leave and leave request form to the employer along with the transfer petition.

Thanks @ JulyTransfer So if my current employer gives me a letter stating that I was on Maternity leave from date 1 to date 2 that should be good right?
