United States to make revised H1B compulsory for workers moving from one workplace to another:<\/strong> As part of recent proposed changes to the H-1B visa system, the United States will now require an amended petition if an H-1B worker wants to change workplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per a previous decision of the US Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia, it has been reaffirmed that employers sponsoring foreign employees on H-1B visas must file an amended H-1B petition with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in case when a foreign worker relocates within the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United States To Make Revised H1B Compulsory For Workers Moving From One Workplace To Another<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In July 2015, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a policy memorandum based on the Administrative Appeals Office’s decisions in a specific case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to this memorandum, an international worker’s relocation from one domestic place to another place constituted a material change and also required the submission of an amended H1-B visa application form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This policy memorandum faced many lawful challenges, but the court of the US supported the requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newly proposed changes in the H1-B will formalize this obligation. Now, employers must submit a new H-1B petition and a new Labour Condition Application (LCA) form before the location change occurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a worker fails in this policy, it may be considered a violation of their H-1B visa status. It is also important to note that these changes in H1B will incur additional costs for the sponsoring employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This requirement does not apply to those workers who change their job location within the same area of intended employment. These changes aim to assure compliance with the H-1B visa program, especially regarding the work locations of visa holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A New York-based immigration attorney, Cyrus D Mehta, told TOI that this new policy increases the costs and the burdens on employers relating to the filing of an amended H-1B petition, and it is sad that the appeal court did not change this policy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If H-1B workers do not file an amended petition before moving to a new worksite, they may violate their visa status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
