well i can stay in the country for 60 days but i cannot work until my h1 is approved. my lawyer says the compnay can temporarily terminate and rehire, but the company HR is not ready to listen or they kind of hesitant in going that way. they dont know the impact or consequences (if any) of rehiring especially an international.

Hello All,

I am stuck in a very painful scenario right now. I am working on F1-OPT which ends on Feb 5th 2011 and have a pending H1-B application under premium processing. The thing is my employer says that they will terminate me on Feb 4th and cannot guarantee a rehiring even if H1-B is approved.

My employer needs to know if there is something (legal) like temporary termination and rehiring ? If yes then what does the employer need to do to rehire. And is there any documentation about this. My employer wants to check this documentation before reconsidering.

Any inputs would be appreciated.

Thanks

sak.
