H!B Visa holder on unpaid leave

[rampv]

I need to go to India due to domestic requirements and stay there for a while. My employer won't pay me during that period(ofcourse no employer in this world will give a one year paid leave). Is it allowed or I will be out of status because I am not on payroll? Please advise me.

Can do.

Hi,

I think you can do this. As far as this is OK between you and your company, there is nothing which prevents you from doing this. Moreover you are not staying in this country and can not be out of status because of not being paid.

Thanks.
