MU VISA ADVISOR: NEW H-1B NOW REQUIRED WHEN AN H-1B WORKER CHANGES LOCATION

MU VISA ADVISOR:   NEW H-1B NOW REQUIRED WHEN AN H-1B WORKER CHANGES LOCATION

In a dramatic change ignoring 20 years of past precedent, the

USCIS' Administrative Appeals Office has decided that a new H-1B

petition must be filed every time an H-1B employee changes worksites, if

the new worksite is outside of the original metropolitan area.

Effective immediately all MU Law client-employers must file new or amended

H-1B petitions to protect these H-1B workers.  This will dramatically and

negatively change the process for many H-1B employers, especially those

employers in the staffing and consulting industries.  These industries

should expect to spend additional time and cost preparing and filing

previously unnecessary H-1B amendment petitions.

The AAO decision is titled, Matter of Simeio Solutions, LLC.
