-- Memorandum from William R. Yates, Deputy Executive Associate Commissioner, INS, dated April 11, 2000:

"As long as the alien continues to provide H-1B services for a U.S. employer, most changes will not mean that an alien is out of status... As long as the employer/employee relationship exists, an H-1B alien is still in status. An H-1B alien may work in full- or part-time employment and remain in status. An H-1B alien may also be ... laid off or otherwise inactive without affecting his or her
status."
