Relocation to a different state - no change in job

[relocMA]

Hi, I have an urgent question please.

 

My PERM and I-140 are approved and my priority date is 21 June, 2011.  I'm waiting for my date to become current.

I have my H1B extension, valid until May 2016.

 

I am relocating to a different state. I currently work from home for my employer.  My home office location is listed on the LCA.  My company is going to file a new LCA and H1B amendment.  However, my concern is, do they also need to submit a new PERM and I-140? 

 

Once I give up this home office and move, I cannot return to it (I rent the home).  When it comes to submitting the I-485, would I be expected to be working from my current location, or would the new LCA and H1B amendment take care of that?

 

Thanks for you urgent inputs.  I am due to give notice to my current Landlord on Monday and sign the new lease for new location.  I'm feeling anxious to do that until I know if my I-485 would be impacted.

LCA is for the H1 ONLY.

For the GC, if the PERM doesn't list the new state, it would have to be redone.

You and your employer need to discuss this situation with a good immigration lawyer.

The answer to this question depends on facts not present in the post. Generally, a change in the permanent work location as listed on the PERM has a material affect on the job offered and the immigration process. It is advisable to seek the counsel of a qualified competent immigration attorney.
