Lighthouse, I don\'t agree: The real reason for Paystubs
If you are on H1 you are not entitled to any Federal assistance as the minute you are unemployed you are out of status and need to leave the country within some specified period of time.
I have my own theory on why RFE\'sfor paystubs are being requested. It is because of dumbass folks calling IIO\'s asking dumbass questions like:
a. " I am on company payroll and not getting paid ". What in God\'s name does that mean ?
b. "I am on extended leave of absence": What bullshit is that. Let me see... Your company is doing GC for you on the basis that the skills you poccess are not available in the country and are urgently required and BTW we can have you on leave of absence for 6 months, no problem. Horseshit.
Because of these repeated stupid queries by many applicants that INS has put two and two together, thus realizing that a lot of applicants no longer have jobs and what best way to prove that than request for paystubs in addition to employement letter. This is the only reason for the requests for Paystubs. GC is for a future job, hence how can you generate a paystub for a future job ?
My two cents worth.
