On May 21, 2015, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued guidance on an employer’s obligation to amend an H-1B visa petition to report a change in the employee’s worksite location. This guidance is in response to the Administrative Appeals Office’s recent decision in Matter of Simeio Solutions, LLC, in which it determined that an employer must file an amended H-1B petition when a new Labor Condition Application for a Nonimmigrant Worker (LCA) is required due to a change in the H-1B employee’s location of employment.
