Changed Clients after H1B approval

[M_S_Ganesh]

Hi,

I got my H1b Approved on 2011, while applying for h1 i was with XXX client,

after the approval i moved to YYY client and then now i am with ZZZ client.

i am planning to go for stamping with my current client(ZZZ).

I changed the client twice after the approval, will it affects my stamping?

Thanks

Ganesh

You must file H1 amendament. If you have latest H1 with the current client, then you should be good to go for stamping.

Hi Ganesh,

There are two documents involved. I-129 (your H-1B petition) and LCA. Both of them have address of your work location and MUST be in sync.

Ideally every time you change client OR your work location you must get your !-129 amended (thereby informing USCIS of what you are doing and where).

In your case if LCA has work location of ZZZ and I-129 has location of XXX your visa might get denied. So get your amendment done (I myself have suffered from this in 2011...initially VO said visa approved then 221G and then denial).

Good luck,

Rajat
