My husband is GC holder and i was working on H1 visa from 2005 Oct to 2008 Jan.But i stopped working since Feb 2008 after i has a baby and have not been on payroll since then and been out of status. My husband would get his citizenship in Jan2010 after which in another 6 months or so i will get my GC. So since i am already out of status i was thinking i will stay back in US for another 2-21/2 yrs till my i get my GC after my husband gets his citizenship.But i read somewhere that if a person is not under payroll for 6 months(180 days) or more he/she would get a bar for 3 yrs, and if the person stays in US with no payroll for more than a year then he/she will get bar for 10 yrs. So after knowing these figures i am confused and thinking of going to India before i complete 180 days, as i am worried about the 10 yr bar if i leave US after 1 yr. I am just left with another 10 days to reach the 180 days gap not being payed. I am just trying to know if i leave US now just before i complete 180 days will the number for bar years become less than 3 years or so?or would it still remain 3 years.
Out of status please advice
