Learnt in one of the info session with attorney/ Immigration team that the maximum duration an employee can work away from home office is 4 months in a given year

Apologies OP, that info is incorrect. There is no limit on how many months. However the LCA filing does need a total number of days to be submitted. This is the no. of days at client site. Standard procedure.

And that includes LCA approved Mon-thurs... How are consulting companies managing this so far...

Haven’t heard of that before OP

P - as long as FN has client location LCA approved as part of H1b, they are good to go. However there is a short term rule where folks on H1b can travel to attend meetings and workshops without approved LCA if the duration is less than 30 days in a year. But EY Law has taken a conservative view, even a single day of travel to a new location now requires LCA/H1 amendment. This is not only insane logic but I have now started planning to move out of US. I can’t maintain my targets if I have to wait for 8 weeks to meet with my clients.

But again the firm has been extremely supportive, we all have to live this through.

OP - its 4 weeks max not 4 months... if you are on the road for more than 4 weeks h1-b amendment is mandatory

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?

This was in July 2022. Should I be worried that it won't happen or should I start looking for the switch.?
