My former boss sponsored my J1 waiver, but he didnot support my H1 application(Real reason is I was pregenant, he knew it is illegal to fire me, so he said he would keep my status well). I found a similar job instantly, but the H1 was aproved 6 month later.I was not paid for 6 months, but the boss said he helped me to keep status well. I am confused after reading many posts about gap. Is there a gap? Will it affect 485? LD is petitioner. How can I cover the gap?
