  • can H1b stamping and ne LCA done prallely???

    Dear Members,

    I am Working for the company X in india, my company has filled a H1B petition to work for the Client A operating from location 1 and my PA date for stamping in on 16th Nov 2011. But now I moved to a different Client B (same company) operating from location 2.

    Q1 : Can i appear for the stamping interview as if i am going for Client A in location 1 and then apply for New LCA for new client B in new location 2 ?
    OR
    Should I first apply the New LCA for the Client B in location 2 and then appear for Stamping interview ?

    Q2 : If I apply for New LCA for the Client B in location 2 before Stamping interview, should i also ammend that information in my H1B petition ? if yes how long it takes normally for New LCA and H1B ammendment.

    Q3: Can I parallely apply for New LCA for the Client B in location 2 and Appear for the stamping interview with the Old LCA which i have for the Client A in location 1 ?

    Thanks

    >>> A new LCA and a H1B amendment need to be filed before you can attend the visa interview.

    Q2 : If I apply for New LCA for the Client B in location 2 before Stamping interview, should i also ammend that information in my H1B petition ? if yes how long it takes normally for New LCA and H1B ammendment.
    >>> LCA takes about 10 days. Amendment takes about 2-3 months by normal process and 15 days by premium.

    Q3: Can I parallely apply for New LCA for the Client B in location 2 and Appear for the stamping interview with the Old LCA which i have for the Client A in location 1 ?
    >>> You should not.

      Thank you so much shervin143.

      My friend has another query. He already got H1B visa stamped for client A in location 1, but now he shifted to Client B in location 2. So he wants to know if it is enough to just get a new LCA for the client B in location 2 or he also need to have H1b Amendment ?

        Visa has nothing to do here. The existing valid H1B visa can be used to re-enter U.S. A new LCA and an H1B amendment need to eb filed and approved for the new work location.
