Relocation within USA on H1B visa with visa extension in progress
Asked on Jun 20th, 2015 on Immigration - Michigan
More details to this question:
Hi , I am working in Michigan for a client A and have filed my H1B extension with the same client with Michigan as work location. Due to a sudden assignment change I have to relocate to Virginia and work for client B. As per the new rule I have to file an amended petition(new LCA) however I was not sure that whether that amendment would be for my petition that is already approved or would it take care of my extension which is filed with client A. Please advice

Under present U.S.C.I.S. guidelines, a move such as yours means amending the LCA and H-1B petition. When you are filing an H-1B amendment, you can also file for an extension of time.
