snuthalapati Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Hi, I am looking to move another work location for the same company. I am on H1B visa with approved 140 and my current visa is expiring in 2 years. Do you see any issues in moving to the new location? ( different stae). This is not a position change, only location change. Does my company needs to apply new H1 and start my GC process again from scratch??? Thank you. Link to comment
nr2006 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 GC process- no for H1 work location change, please refer this link https://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/uscis-draft-guidance-when-file-amended-h-1b-petition-after-simeio-solutions-decision Link to comment
DevN Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Yes, You need to file Amendment. Please find below article. for time being forgot about GC, first they need to re-file H1 Petition for new location https://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/uscis-draft-guidance-when-file-amended-h-1b-petition-after-simeio-solutions-decision Thanks, Dev Link to comment
snuthalapati Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Thanks DevN.. Hope H1 amendment is not same as new H1. Does this also takes 2-3 months? Does this has premium processing? Link to comment

Does this has premium processing? Yes, This is same like h1 transfer /extension, similar process. Now days they consider this also as new petition and chances to get RFE as well. You can also go for Premium as well. Link to comment
snuthalapati Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 My company immigration specialist mentioned me that they need start GC process from scratch. ( my current status: 140 approved). I am much worried if we need to start GC process again as this takes again 12-18 months to approve PERM..etc. Link to comment
