H1B Transfer.

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Prior to 2015, changes of location for H-1B holders were not important. That changed with Matter of Simeio Solutions LLC, a decision in which the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) of USCIS upheld the revocation of a petitioner’s H-1B petition due to changes in the beneficiary’s places of employment, which were not communicated to USCIS. In your case, your transferring from New York City to Philadelphia is not within the same metropolitan statistical zone, and so your employer will have to file a H-1B amendment with USCIS to allow you to legally work in that location. The amendment requires the submission of a new I-129 with documentation and new labor condition application (LCA).

What are the requirements of the green card sponsors based on employment?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Immigration lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
I'm assuming that you mean a family based visa and not an employment based visa. NVC has an "I 864" poverty guideline that will determine the amount of income necessary for someone to sponsor an applicant.

Should I send my passport to USCIS when filing for TN visa extension with 1-129?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
When filing for a TN visa extension with USCIS, only a copy of the passport is required. Please note that USCIS does not do anything with the passport and only issues an I-797 s notice of approval if it decides to favorably adjudicate the TN extension request. If you travel outside the US, you will still have to pass inspection with Customs and Border Protection when you reenter the US in which the officer will take a look anew at the merits of your request for TN extension.
