H1B Extension field and LCA for new work location

[not2stop]

Hi...

 

I'm in a situation where I got my H1B extension filed on May 17th, 2013 and have VISA expiry date Sep 30th, 2013 and still in initial review status. Extension is filed for the client location in Texas. Now I got a new project which is in Georgia and I need to file for the LCA for new work location. Company attorney advise to wait till I get my  extenstion is approved, but I don't have project anymore at client location in Texas and will need to move to new client at Georgia.

 

Please advise.

Your new employer can initiate a H1 petition irrespective of your H1B extension in progress.

I'm going to work for the same employer but different client.

You need H1 amendment.

Will there be any chance of denial? Please advise. I'm in such a situation where my employer is not getting me a good response.

Can't say. But their are lots of posts where it says VO was asking for amended petition during the interview. If you employer is not responding correctly, then its better to contact attorney and rethink about the interview.

At present i'm in US working on the project and working on the LCA to my new location. Whereas my H1 extension is still in Initial Review status.

My employer agreed for Premium processing, will it be advised to apply for LCA for new client location when my extension is in-progress for different client.

Got H1 approved and LCA filed for new location.

Hi, I think i too in the same scenario? My H1b Visa Extension is in progress and i got my receipt no. Now I have to move to a new location (Same employer different client). Is there any problem in VISA approval if a new LCA is filed for new location ? Will attorney file a new LCA if our visa extension is in progress? Note: My visa expires on 11/24/2013. Please reply me asap.
