Sponsoring B2 Visa when H1B amendment for post location-change is in progress

[sivaramanm]

I recently started working for a new client (in different location) other than the one for whom originally the LCA was filed for and only after moving to the new client/location, my employer is filing for the H1B amendment with new LCA. Question is If I process (sponsor) visitor visa for my parents now (when H1B amendment not yet done/in-progress) will there be any issues/risk involved in it?

Since as part of the sponsoring documents, they are asking for my H1B details which would be for a different location (west coast) but my parents (if visa given) supposed to travel east coast.

I don't want delay the visitor visa processing as the summer time is approaching which will have its own effect on airfare and visa appointment dates.

Need experts help and advice!!

thanks in advance.

>>> It will not be an issue as long as your have the receipt notice for the H1B amendment.

>>> Well, the receipt notice and a copy of the form I-129 filed for the H1B amendment will work. Advisable to wait until the LCA gets approved (it takes about 10 days to get the LCA approved).

Siva: So its not advisable to process B2 Visa without having the receipt notice for H1B amendment, right?

>>> First of all it is not legal to move to a different work location without filing a new LCA and informing USCIS (H1B amendment). If you want the process to be smooth, better apply after getting the receipt notice for the H1B amendment.
