Relocation within the same firm & H-1B

[August31]

I am a little worried. I was relocated by my firm from one office to another last year. These two offices are in different states, but both belong to the Texas Service Center of USCIS. As I know, my firm has not informed the USCIS of the change or done any paperwork (if any). Is this too bad to my H-1B? What should/can my firm or I do at this time? I have only filed AC11 for address change.

Your help is greatly appreciated!!!!

You need to file H1b amendment for change of job location ...

I
f the relocation is temporary in nature, you no need to do anything. (If the pay check is generated from your sponser company HQ no problem)

Thank you all guys!!

The address of my firm on all my pay checks (before & after relocation), my I-129 approval letter (I-797), and my I-94 is the same; it is my firm's HQ address. So I am okay?!

Thanks, Ben

Hi guru, how is "temporary in nature" defined? 6 months, 1 year, ...? I was relocated in May last year. Thanks for any further help.

If you are not at all going back to your company base is permanent. If you are going back after "some" time is temporary. There is no definition for "some" time.
