My current visa's work authorization is expiring and HR made me put in a month of unpaid leave untill it gets renewed (should be less than a month). Does it hurt if I get a month off during busy time

There nothing you can do to control this, communicate that to your teams and it shouldn't hurt you long term.

My team seemed pretty supportive. And to be honest I don't mind taking a month off, I can really use it for studying the CPA. If I get my renewal early, should I report ASAP or is it okay to take the whole month off? On a side note, another colleague of mine literally had to leave the country and so they are hiring people to fill the spots. So that got me worried.

I don’t think they have a option to put you on unpaid leave. I expect it is illegal to pay you when you are not authorized.

I would suggest you be transparent if you are not going to be available as soon as work authrozAtion comes in.

Did they delay renewing your H1B? Usually they can start 6 months before the expiration and one its filed you are authorized to work.

If you are scheduled for a month off, and they have some other staff working in your place, take the whole month to study unless you can't afford to $!

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!
