Kumar R Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Hello, currently I am telecommuting from Virginia (where my H1B petition) is filed and PERM/I-140 petition is filed for office location (Nevada). My H1B approved petition had 2 addresses (One my current home address and office address in Nevada). I am in 8th year of H1B (maxed out) and getting extended on I-140. Now my employer's new immigration team is saying they need to file a new perm/I-140 for Virginia location as I am telecommuting from VA and not working from Nevada. for which my department is not funding and asked me to move back to Nevada. What I knew for example: hundreds of employers file perm/I-140 for Office locations and H1B they file/amend/extend based on employee actual work location and has nothing to do with perm/I-140 address. Perm/I-140 address only matters during my priority date when it becomes current, and I expect to be at work location/area during that time. Imagine my situation: every time I change address to a different state/county along with H1B amendment the employer immigration team is also asking for perm/I-140 processing which my department will not sponsor. I could have not filed my I-140 with them if I was told this before. Any suggestions or a reference official note can I get stating H1B location can be different from perm/I-140 location? I have contacted my company immigration team and awaiting a response for this question. thanks, all. Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 The employer can demand that you work from the office. If you don't like that your only option really is to find another employer. Quote Link to comment
