Job location change after approved I140

[cmat22]

Hi,

I am planning to move to a different state for my work but with the same employer and same job description.

 

Does anyone know if Labor/PERM and I140 have to be re-done? Or is it just I140?

 

Does USCIS have any information that i can read?

You don't need a new I140 when you change job now. I140 is filed for your future job not for current job.

But what i have heard is that you could keep your PD but you will have to file Labor for the new location and I40 with old PD for the new location. That will take me back a year, so was wondering if these steps are necessary or not. I have asked my lawyers but yet to hear back! So any info is appreciated!

That's called H1 amendment. You need that whenever your work location changes. Not for GC application.
