Hi there,

My wife is holding H1B visa and we have submitted I-485 (EB3 based) in 2007. She was told by the company lawer that the US Department of Labor only considers 35 hours per week as full time and my wife must be full time for the H1B and to be sponsored for the green card.

Our question is, if my wife gets sick or preganent and she has to work less than full time or even take a medical leave for several months, is she still OK for H1B and being sponsored for GC (I-485 pending)? If yes, do we have to keep some documents like doctor's notes as evidence in case being asked later? At what time and by whom will this issue be raised? We are very interested in getting some offical websites/documents about the policies if there are any. Thanks.

John
