  • H1 amendment

    Hi Sir,

    I am currently on H1B which was applied in April 2014 and I started working from Oct 2014.
    My H1B was filed from State A and I am currently working in State B for a client. My employer is now filing my LCA amendment for change in work location (This is my first job on H1B).

    Question 1. Is it too late for filing the LCA Amendment? Can I ask my employer to do a premium processing for lca amendment?

    Question 2: I will be travelling to India in december for my stamping. Will this change have an impact on my stamping?

    Question 3: I am also looking for a full time job (currently working on contract) so in that case my new employer will get the H1B transferred. Will the LCA Amendment process hamper the h1b transfer process? How long does it take generally for the successful amendment to reflect on new LCA?

    Kindly guide.

    Thanks!!

    Question 1. Is it too late for filing the LCA Amendment?
    >>> Ofcourse it is late. This should have been filed when you started working. Anyways, it is more risky to not file at all. You should file it asap.

    Can I ask my employer to do a premium processing for lca amendment?
    >>> Not just the LCA. H1B should also get amended. There is no premium for LCA. H1B amendment can be filed in premium.

    Question 2: I will be travelling to India in december for my stamping. Will this change have an impact on my stamping?
    >>> Not if the amendment is approved bu USCIS. Make sure your H1B petition also gets amended.

    Question 3: I am also looking for a full time job (currently working on contract) so in that case my new employer will get the H1B transferred. Will the LCA Amendment process hamper the h1b transfer process?
    >>> Nope. Transfer will have no impact because of the amendment.

    How long does it take generally for the successful amendment to reflect on new LCA?
    >>> LCA between 7-15 days (no premium). H1B takes anywhere between 2-3 months by normal process and 15 days by premium.
    Not a legal advice. Use of this information is strictly at your own risk.
