Attorney Nisha Karnani from Antonini & Cohen Immigration Law Group explains changes to the H-1B program now that the H-1B modernization rule is in effect.
At Antonini & Cohen, our business immigration lawyers help you understand how these H-1B changes may impact your immigration status and how you can comply with the new requirements. Contact us to schedule a consultation and ensure you are up to date with the latest regulations.
As a business immigration lawyer, Nisha Karnani recommends staying informed and taking proactive steps to avoid issues with your immigration status. Here are some key points:
H-1B amendments must now be filed and approved before a material job change takes effect, including changes in job position or work location.
If you work remotely and your job location changes to a different city than the one listed in your H-1B, you may need to file an amendment.
Failing to file an amendment on time before a job change occurs could lead to visa delays or denials.
If you believe your job has changed in the past without an amendment being filed, contact Antonini & Cohen immediately to determine if any action is needed.
HR teams should ensure their H-1B public access files are in order. If you are unsure what this means, reach out to us for guidance.
If you have questions about the H-1B modernization rule, the H-1B lottery, or any other immigration matter, call us at (470) 428-3200 or fill out our contact form to schedule a consultation.
At Antonini & Cohen, we know how.
