H1b Amendment

[Rambo66]

Hi,

My client site is moved with in 2 miles vicinity of the old address where LCA filed. Do we need to file H1b amendment for this?  Is there any source or website to check two address with in same MSA(metropolitan statistical area) ? As per below mentioned link, it states that, if we move with in same MSA, we need not file Amendment for H1b. Could some one give their opinion on this.

Are you still working for same company/same job/ same client and is it just the address changed but not the client?

Yes.. Same MSA, no amendment needed. But need to post LCA in new location.

For safe side, get your LCA updated with new address...incase of USCIS filed visit...they may go to your old address.

if you have travel plans...get it amended....even within 2 miles range.

2. When there is a material change in the terms and conditions of employment, the petitioner must file an amended or new H−1B petition with the corresponding LCA.  

If in your case its just the address but the same company, same project etc, then not needed.

But if there is a material change, you will still need to file amendment.

All duties,responsibilities and client are same.Address was changed to new location of about 2 miles distance.
