Changed client within the same MSA(Metropolitan statistical Area)

[soyuj]

Hi All,

Like many of you i recently changed client while working on H1B. I was working for Client X in Providence, RI and now moved to Client Y in Boston. Both of these belong to the same Metropolitan Statistical Area(MSA) and i did not change my employer.

 

Does this qualify as a 'Material Change' which would require an H1b amendment to be filed ?

 

Anyone in similar situation ? Let me know how it was handled or it needs to be handled ?

 

Appreciate your replies/inputs.

 

Thank you,

Soy

Did your job duties change as well? If not you wont need an amendment if its within the same MSA per USCIS guidelines.

 

Please consult with your company attorneys to make sure you are covered.
