H1 Amendment

[keynk]

Hello everyone,

I am currently on a vacation to India and recently completed H1B stamping, which is valid until September 2025. I recently changed my home location, so my employer wants to file an amendment. Can they file an amendment while I am still in India? Can I still travel to the United States with my current stamp if my amendment is approved by USCIS https://xender.vip/ ?

Helllo,
Yes, your employer can file an H-1B amendment while you are still in India. The H-1B amendment is typically required when there is a material change to the terms and conditions of your employment, such as a change in work location. Here's how this situation would work:

Filing the Amendment from Abroad:
Your employer can file an H-1B amendment with the USCIS even while you are outside the United States. The amendment will include the updated details of your employment, such as the new home location if it is tied to your work location.

Traveling to the U.S. on Your Current Visa Stamp:
You can travel to the U.S. with your current H-1B visa stamp as long as it is valid (until September 2025 in your case) and you have a valid H-1B approval notice (I-797) from the same employer. Your visa is not tied to the amendment; it is tied to your general H-1B status with your employer.

After the Amendment is Approved:
If the H-1B amendment is approved, it does not invalidate your existing visa stamp. The amendment only updates the terms of your H-1B petition. You can continue to use your existing visa stamp for travel as long as it is valid and matches the same employer listed on your I-797 approval notice.
