viragy Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hi, I have valid H1B with stamping done sometime in Feb, 2015 for client A. Now that the requirement for client A has been dropped & I will need to travel for client B. I got to know there's some cooling period of 3 months after stamping if at all there's change in Client & Location. Please advise... Regards, Virag Link to comment
jairichi Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 There is no cooling off period. Employer has to apply for H1B amendment and only with that approval you can enter US. Link to comment

jairichi Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 In regards to same question~ any idea what's the lead time for H1B Amendment? It is nothing but a new cap exempt H1B petition. 3 to 4 months by regular processing. Link to comment
viragy Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thank you! Also I understand amendments are of two types one is with extension & the other one is without extension. In my case there's no extension. I am in India right now & have to fly US as soon as I can because of client expectations. Can I fly immediately after we get LCA & amendment process can run in parallel since amendment in my case is without extension. Regards, V Link to comment
