For folks in L1A visa - is it mandatory to stay in your home office state?
Going through a divorce and been living in a state outside of my home office. I want to understand if this is allowed or should I get my work location changed? Does it impact my tax or visa? Thanks!

This is not true. Green card holders are required to update their address at any move..

I'm pretty sure it's fine as long as all of your work information is accurate. In this political climate, I would encourage you to over-communicate rather than not tell them about a move or a job change and have them find out after the fact. But I don't really think it's a big deal to stay in your home office state as long as you're authorized to work remotely and all that.

It should be fine but just double check with lawyers, and sorry for what you are going through, it must be difficult cos right now even I am typing this message with similar thoughts in my mind. 😔

I agree with everyone else above. It should be fine but check with your lawyer. I never had any issues and I moved several times.

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!

Question:
Should I just move to London as soon as I'm able to, or is it worth waiting until the end of my OPT in August in case they do a second round of the H1B lottery?
