h1b question
let me re-phrase the question:
1. While on H1B visa, how many days can you take-off without pay or unpaid vacation while staying in the US ?
2. While on H1B visa, how many days can you take-off without pay or unpaid vacation while staying outside the US ?
Is there a max no of days that are stipulated by law ?

Chat User : can h-1 take leave of absence without pay and continue gc processing for what reasons?
Attorney Murthy : Since GC is for a future job, not working for the employer or taking an unpaid leave of absence for reasons like maternity leave, to take care of elderly parents, etc. is fine, as long as the prospective or sponsoring employer agrees to continue to offer the full-time job after the person gets the GC.

I agree, and I disagree.
I agree that the person can take unpaid vacation for a legitimate reason and for virtually any period as a matter of law. As a practical matter, I believe that INS almost automatically believes that "unpaid vacation" means that the employee has either been illegal benched without pay bu the employer or that the employer terminated the employee and just did not notify INS. BCIS seems to belive almost automatically that no paystubs=out of status.
If the person is in the US the person MUST maintain their legal status or AOS may not be possible. If you are here on an employment based visa, you must be employed.
