i am in the same boat, Yes we need to file the amendment to update our current job. My employer was filling for it now and my date was march 25th in vancouver.....ATB

Its always better to get the amendment based on the current scenarios. But i have seen people who got their visa stamped with just a New LCA.

but keep in mind that each case is different and plan accordingly.

Yes H1 Amendment is mandatory if you change your client. If you don't do that you will be in risk when you go for stamping. Just apply in premium processing u will get with in 1 week. I too did my amendment recently.. And one suggestion is if you are planning for H1 Amendment you can do H1 Extension even though your current petition is valid more than 6 months. For me I have a valid H1 Petition until Sep 2014. But I filed an amendment/extension in Feb 2013 and got approved through Jan 2016. Hope this helps.

Mahesh babuy and canadastamping10 can you please provide your contact number to my email address: kishoreande21@gmail.com to discuss regarding this ammendment process. This might help me in getting the process expedited and giving all information my employer might need.

Thanks for your support,

Sorry for the late response, yes it depends on your employer, if your employer has submitted all the documents properly to USCIS, you can get approved with in 2 weeks after submission to USCIS.
