One of my friends H1B VISA is valid till Feb 2004 and is being held by an Indian consulting co.But his project has been terminated due to US econoomic slowdown 3 months back.So he was asked to sign an applcation for "Leave of Absence" for last 3 months,so the consulting co. doesn\'t need to pay him salary/bench money.
Q1 : Is he out of status ? His agent is still looking for clients and
arranging interviews.
Q2 : How long he can stay on "Leave of absence" due to personal reasons
on H1B? Does law impose any upper limit on the leave period?
Q3 : What options this guy has now to stay with valid status in USA ?
Q4 : He wants to go to his parents in UK on christmas holidays,will it
not be any problem at US entry airport if he enters back in USA in
Jan 2002 in such situation?
