有關H-1B雇員轉換工作地點的須知

當H-1B雇員需要轉換工作地點時，如果其新的工作地點與原H-1B申請中LCA (Labor condition application) 中的地點不在同一區域，那麽雇主需為此雇員重新遞交LCA以及I-129申請。以下為有關信息， Before an employer can move an H-1B worker to another worksite in a location not covered by an approved LCA for that new location, the following needs to be done: 1. A new LCA needs to be filed covering the new location (including on-site posting of the job for ten business days in two prominent locations at the new worksite) 2. A new I-129 needs to be submitted, because DHS considers a move to a new location (unspecified in the preexisting LCA) a material change in employment The process can take several weeks, and the employer should begin the process well before the new location is to be used. DOL does not require new fillings or postings at all if the place is not somewhere the H-1B worker will actually work. For example, nothing is required if the assignment is employee development activity such as attending seminars, conferences and training sessions. On-the-Job training or regular performance as the instructor are not considered “employee development activity” and require filings and postings. An H-1B worker can be temporarily placed for up to 30 days in a calendar year in an area not covered by an LCA and up to 60 days a year if the worker already has a work and home base in an area covered by an LCA without filing a new LCA. A worker must be covered by an LCA somewhere and the worker’s initial location cannot be a temporary placement. 本文由範毅禹律師事務所提供 本律師事務所精辦各類勞工應聘及專業移民申請 (包括H-1，L-1，EB-1，EB-2，NIW，勞工卡，綠卡等申請)。所有申請由多位美籍律師及擁有15年經驗的範毅禹律師親自處理，我所並特設中英移民網站。內有最新移民新聞資訊及由律師主持的移民問答集，歡迎讀者流覽查詢。 www.fan-law.com (Chinese) www.fanuslaw.com (English) CALIFORNIA : Fan, Fitzpatrick & Thompson, LLP. 370 E.
