Does my employer need to amend the H1-B petition if I relocate to a new branch?

On a transfer situation, the basic question is whether the new branch will be in the same metropolitan statistical area (MSA). If so, the company could do a notice of posting before you transfer. If not in the same metropolitan statistical area, the company would have to do an H-1B amendment with U.S.C.I.S. to place you in the new location. I do note that even in the same MSA, there may be different prevailing wages that your company may wish to take note of. Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
