Working on the new location while amendment decision Pending

[Joseph13]

Hi,

Today i read an article in the uscis site like this "Once a petitioner properly files the amended or new H-1B petition, the H-1B employee
can immediately begin to work at the new place of employment, provided the requirements of
section 214(n) of the INA are otherwise satisfied. The petitioner does not have to wait for a final
decision on the amended or new petition for the H-1B employee to start work at the new place of
employment."

I have filed my H1B amendment under normal processing and it is pending for the decision. I'm in India now. So can i travel to US now to work on the new location.

Thanks,
Joseph Mathew

Yes. Carry a copy of the H1B amendment's receipt notice and a copy of the amended LCA when you travel. If the officer at the POE asks you why you are travelling to a different destination than the one in approval notice, you can show these documents.
