EY H1b 🐟, if I only travel for 1 week to the client sites every now and then, do I need to tell EY law to file an amendment? The recent communication about having to include all your work sites...

SM1, so we can travel for pursuits or client engagement lasting less than 4 weeks (which is 16 days counting M-T) without amendment?

Hence why it is good to check with the law firm!

For any location if you are not expecting to travel for more than 30 days in a year ( I thinks in EY it’s oct-sep) you don’t need LCA. I had clarified this multiple time. When the memo came in Feb, they panicked and stopped everything, but after couple of months things got settled and 30 days is still valid. For example if I am doing a 10 week project and travel only 3 days a week, I am fine

... including your home address if you work from home seems ridiculous. The firm where I just came over from only required me to file an amendment if I think my time spent at the client site will exceed 30 days

Yes.

That’s same in EY also

I don’t think 30days or not matters any more

If you are traveling more than 30 working days in one year or working from locations other than in LCA than yes you need to have new LCA and h1b ammendment

Now I’m really confused. I thought it’s more than 30 working days for one location outside your MSA. Now it’s 30 working days in total of all locations?

In the feb/mar update, they removed 30day threshold. So if you are traveling to ANY new worksite that’s not on your visa, LCA

They still have 30 threshold

They had placed that restrictions for few weeks, but now until 30 days it should be fine

Maybe it’s just a ey thing? Our visa team removed 30days from statement and rephrased it to be any new worksite

@SM1 - Thanks for clarifying. If I understand correctly, if I start a project thinking it will only last about 10 weeks, I can travel immediately. No LCA and/or amendment. If for some reason project gets extended then I would need to file an LCA/amendment. This is all within a year. Please let me know if this is not what you meant. Appreciate tour help.
