HELP! I’ve been remote since day one (everyone in my team is) but my manager just told me that the laws for visa process are going back to prepandemic rules where in process employees are supposed to work in the company’s location. He mentioned that there are likely exceptions. Should I be concerned? Anyone has experience with this? The office is over an hour drive from my home.

My H1b was renewed for the next 3 years in Jan 2022, they basically just added my home address to the office address. So there’s two addresses I can work from.

Just have them file an LCA to amend your h1b and add your home address to it

Either your manager is trying to scare you into coming bsck to the office or you misinterpreted what he said. Employee is supposed to work at the place designated as the workplace on the petition. The workplace ia designated by the employer - whether their office or whether the remote location agreed by the employer where work duties can be performed as outlined in the petition.

Lies. My recent LCA literally states remote home office and it’s under my address

Your LCA states what? There is no place on the LCA to state whether you're remote or not. It will only state employment location
