Does your organization have such a policy..

In Deloitte when you file for an LCA for a change in location, and a corresponding H1B amendment, Deloitte does not do it in premium processing.

I was surprised to learn this.. I received a response that there are no exceptions to this rule.

What do they do at other consulting firms? Please share your experience.

There is no need of premium processing for amendments because you are already in US and you can start working at new client location immediately after applying.

How does it impact when I have to take an emergency leave / FMLA and travel internationally?

What will happen if I change (assessment projects 3-5 months) my client and need a new LCA / amendment.. current processing time is between 4-10 months

I am also potentially exploring an option to move to a different city within USA, currently about 2-3 months from that decision

All this will result in new amendments. Is that too much to ask for the mental peace?

I know this not what you want to hear but it’s bitter truth. Yes it’s too much to ask for personal benefits. Try to get help from your partner, and ask him to use project budget for premium processing fees.

One more thing is immigration team will not file multiple amendments parallelly. If another amendment need to be filed then the previous amendment application has to be withdrawn.

You are in Deloitte and it’s not trump government any more so you can chill. Don’t take too much stress.

@OP, Most organizations will generally file premium only when there is a supporting business case. You will mostly have to work towards building the business case for supporting premium processing ( not personal benefit situation) or pay the premium processing fees from own pocket!!!
