Hello,

My consulting company is headquartered in the Los angeles area but I have been working at Clients place in the San Francisco bay area for the last one year.

In my I-129 (Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker) both Part 1 (Information about the employer filing this petition) and Part 5 (Basic information about the proposed employment and employer) shows the same Los angeles headquarters address.

Question is whether it is allowed to work in a different area (but in the same state in my case) than what is stated in I-129 Part 5 question 5? If not what measures should me as an employee and my employer should take? And, are there any general guidelines around the address and the area of work?

Thanks.
 
H1 and location

From what I know, you are supposed to work only in the location where your visa says you can work. To work in another location, you need a transfer memorandum against an open LCA in that location. this TM needs to be filed with the USCIS.
