Urgent - Relocating on H1B with approved I-140
Hello,
I am H1B holder (H1B valid till Nov 2014 based on 3 years extension of I-140 approval). My I-140 is approved with priority date of Oct 2010 (EB2).
I want to relocate from my current location A to location B with the same employer for personal reasons. There are 2 options for relocation:
1. Moving to a different team but having the same/similar job profile at location B.
2. Working for the same team/same job profile/position at location B as it was in location A.
My questions are:
1) Which one of the 2 options is safer/better?
2) Will 2nd option ensure that I do not have to go through the GC process from the beginning? I have read about 'amendment' but would it be relevant for all cases or there are some exceptions?
3) If 2nd option doesn't work and I have to opt for option 1, would it impact my GC processing? Do I need to apply for labor again even though employer as well as job profile/position is same and only location has changed?
Thanks in advance!
