If I move to a different state on H1B, do we need to file an amendment, or can we just file a new LCA?

Answer

Ordinarily, if an H1B worker is moving to a work location outside of the MSA or reasonable commuting distance of the location/s indicated in the previous petition and LCA, an H1B amendment is required. And, to file the H1B amendment, the employer must first obtain an LCA. (14.Sep.2023)
