Is L1A visa tied to any location like H1B? i.e. can I live in a different city if my employer is okay with it?

The L visa is not tied to a geographic location. To be on the side of caution, you should reach out to your internal immigration team and confirm with them.

L1 are not location specific in the way H1 is with the LCA. When filing for L1, You do need to tell them where you’re working from though. I had multiple L1 issued with my work location being in a different state from my home.

OP Where did you transfer from? Can you talk about the process? Aiming to take this route in the future.

H1-B transfer question

I recently accepted an offer to join a company (A) . They started my H1-B transfer and I received today the approval notice for the transfer.

However, I accepted last week a (better) offer at another company (B) and they will start soon my H1-B transfer.

I attend to tell company (A) on Monday that I will not be joining them. Will there be any issue with company B filing for a H1-B transfer soon?
