Would be taking some time (vacation days) off due to a medical emergency but once I exhaust my vacation days i would be taking two weeks of unpaid leave. Is it risky at the port of entry?

We’ve got 10 sick days. Did you use yours up already?

Taking unpaid vacation wouldn’t change anything with your port of entry situation. Is there any reason why you’re concerned.

Also, while it’s not ideal, you can get a medical certificate in India claiming mental stress. It’s a gray area.

Additionally, with partner approval you can go into negative vacation days for a bit before you move into the unpaid area.

I do have partners approval. I was also thinking of buying the 10 days vacation pack that ey offers in Feb instead of being unpaid and being an inactive employee. There is no reason for concern as such, but wanna make sure I am doing the right things. Since I have been on a roller coaster ride in terms of H1.
