Guys,
This is my employment history in United states.
1) Aug 2000 - Aug 2001 (Company A)
2) Sept 2001 - Feb 2002 (Company B)
Got laid off in February 2002 but company B didn't cancel H1 petition.
Company B paid severance allowance till mid April 2002. And H1 petition was
cancelled by B in May 2002.
3) Company A filed H1 transfer in March 2002 but took on W2 in June 2002.
Since June 2002, I am still working for Company A.
4) I was actually unpaid from Mid April 2002 to Mid June 2002.
My I-140 was approved in March 2003 and I still have my 485 application pending (Filed in April 2003) and recently had an RFE about current employment letter.
Was I legally out of status during unpaid period, when my H1 transfer application was pending? Should I have any fear about I-485 denial due to this unpaid period.
Any comments Gurus.
