H1-B Unpaid Vacation
I am currently in my 3rd year of my H1-B and it has just been re-
approved until 2009. But I want to take an extended leave of absence,
to travel. Based on my current employer allowing this to happen. How
long am I allowed to leave the usa for and what documentation would I
need?
Thanks

You can leave the USA for as long as you like, though if you want to
re-enter as an H-1B you'll have to do so before the approval runs out
in 2009. You'll need an H-1B visa to get back in again
