h1 to h4 - status change clarification

[newwlife]

Hello everyone,

My spouse's h1 got picked & approved this Oct last week , however she cannot work as she's pregnant now. Her employer asked to apply for change of status so he can withdraw h1 & later whenever she's ready , h1 can be applied again. In this regard , to apply for COS to h4 is it OK if we do not provide paystubs as there's a valid reason for her inability to work . Also in the form I-539 , how do we answer for the 19th questions in part 4 . Please suggest if anyone had this kind of situation before

yes consult immigration attorney, why to waste h1..don't compare it with h4ead...

If she applies for maternity leave then employer should pay her some % of her income employer is trying to avoid this and may be forcing to apply for COS.

You will need a strong documentation to support unpaid leave. Like doctor note etc. It might get complicated, So payroll run cheyyatam better option since 2-3 months ee kabatti.
