I was working with consultant A on L2 EAD and had applied for my H1B in April.
I took maternity leave between Nov and Dec while my H1B application was in process. I was planning to join back again in January.
Meanwhile my H1B application got approved on Dec 23rd. But unfortunately my client decided to call off the project and my consultant could not find me a new position.
Until how long is my H1B visa valid without paystubs ? how much time do I have to find a new job ?
Can I talk to my employer and extend my maternity leave until they place me in a new proj, so that I can maintain a valid status ?
Also my EAD is valid till May 2014,does that indicate that I can continue to stay legally in US until May 2014 or will my EAD be invalid once my H1 is approved ?
