changure Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 USCIS REVISES GUIDANCE ON AMENDED H-1B PETITIONS The USCIS released a memo providing final guidance on amended H-1B petitions as a result of the Simeio Solutions court decision. The USCIS has once again changed it's guidance from it's May 26th guidance. This revised final guidance states that the decision will not be applied retroactively. Below is a summary of the actions a company must undertake based on the revised final guidance: If the employee changes the work location to a new Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) Company Action On or prior to April 9th An amended petition is not required to be filed and the USCIS will NOT undertake any adverse action against the company. Between April 10th and August 18th An amended petition is required to be filed by January 15, 2016. After August 18th An amended petition is required to be filed prior to the employee moving to the new location. An amended H-1B petition is not required if the employee moves to a new work location within the same metropolitan area and there has been no material change in the job duties of the employee. An amended petition is not required if the employee is required to travel for a short duration to another metropolitan area for purposes such as meetings, seminars, conferences, trade shows etc. The amended H-1B petition will require the same or similar documentation as filing the original H-1B petition including end client documentation for consulting companies. The USCIS confirms that the original petition remains valid if the amended H-1B petition is denied. ************************************************************************************************************************ Thought it could be useful info atleast for some..
