My company’s immigration counsel wants to put my office address and my “WFH” address (aka my home address) on my H1B application. Is this standard? Will it result in making my home address publicly available online? Any other reasons for concern with that?

Thanks!

This is standard given the hybrid work policies due to COVID! A lot of my clients do two LCAs for this reason so that there are two public access files—office address on one, wfh location on the other. Worth asking your employer’s counsel to do this—they’d be hard-pressed to say no if you cite concerns about privacy and confidentiality (as long as your employer is willing to cover any extra costs associated with filing two LCAs).

Thanks, this is very helpful!

No concern at all. It is a standard procedure as technically you work from home most of the time nowadays.

Thanks!

Yes, Yes, no

I mean people really have to go out of their way to find the address. Also, it won’t be associated with your name, but with the company and job title. And even then you have to know where to search.

Hello,
I booked a h1b visa appointment for Sept 2022 by filling out ds160 with my current employer.
If I change my employer now and they transfer my H1B, is my original visa appointment still valid ? ls there a way I can update DS160 with the new petitioner and use the same visa appointment ? Or do I have to cancel and book a new visa appointment with new employer information in a new DS160 ?
Please let me know soon. Thanks
