Hello All,
Thank you for reading this. I really appreciate your reply.

A commonplace situation with H1-b consultants is that their employer address is in one state while they may be for a client project in another state. So one may be employed by a company in Texas, but working on a project in California, hence having a residential address in California... So the paychecks are being given to the consultant (which has the company's address in the paycheck) while they reside in California.

For the address of the applicant in I-140 form, which one is the correct one to put in there in this case? The Texas or California address?

Another derivation of this question is: what if the consultant has a preferred address to receive mail which is different than that of their residential address? Can they put a preferred address in the I-140 form or does it have to be their residential address? I mean, you certainly know that consultants work on projects and chances that they move from one project to another (and may be from one state to another) is not slim at all. So they may choose to receive mail in a family's address (which they deem as more permanent).


I really appreciate your response, and thank you very much for reading this.


Thank you,

Why don't you put your residential address and keep using the online AR-11 (when you move) so that your home address for all petitions pending with USCIS gets updated? Also, I-140 approval etc will go to your lawyer (this belong to your employer). So I would not worry much.
 
Thank you very much for your reply,
In fact, the residential addresses have been consistently updated using the AR-11 form.

My concern is that the paychecks carry the address of the employer, which is in Texas, as my address. So while the consultant is in CA working in a project, the direct employer is in Texas.

So in this case, the address of the candidate to be inserted in the I-140 form, should be the Texas or California? I understand that you say I have to put the CA address as the applicant address and there won't be any issues, right?
