USCIS Issues H-1B Amendment Guidance | Practical Law
US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued draft guidance in the wake of an Administrative Appeal Office (AAO) precedent decision holding that employers must file amended H-1B petitions when a new Labor Condition Application (LCA) is required due to a change in the H-1B worker's worksite. The AAO's decision in the Matter of Simeio Solutions, LLC now represents USCIS's position on filing amended H-1B petitions prior to placing an H-1B employee at a new worksite.
