How to submit the application for visa change of H 1B?

The U.S. economy continues to slump and the unemployment rate is still rising. Many foreign employees with H 1B visas are in jeopardy and may lose their jobs at any time. Some employers have to reduce their employees' salaries and benefits or close some unprofitable branches in order to ensure no layoffs, but these measures will inevitably affect the conditions for hiring H 1B employees. From a legal point of view, according to the memorandum published by the Immigration Bureau, if the employment conditions of H 1B employees are substantially changed, the employer must submit an application for amending H 1B to explain the specific changes in the actual work of H 1B employees to the Immigration Bureau. According to the information provided by Chen Danhong Law Firm, when the employment conditions of H 1B change significantly, the employer must submit an application for change to the Immigration Bureau. The first case is the change of working hours of H 1B employees. As the business of some employers is going from bad to worse now, they have to adjust the full-time jobs of H 1B employees to part-time jobs, for example, reducing 40 hours per week to 20 hours per week. If the above situation occurs, the employer needs to submit an application for change of H 1B to the Immigration Bureau in time. In the second case, the employee salary of H 1B changes. Due to poor economic conditions, some employers have to reduce the wages of H 1B employees, but the reduced wages still exceed or are equivalent to the average wages at that time. If this happens, the employer does not need to submit an application for change of H 1B to the Immigration Bureau. However, it should be reminded that although the employer does not need to submit a change application, it still needs to keep relevant evidence within the company to show that the employee salary of H 1B still exceeds or equals the average salary of the public after the reduction. In the third case, the actual working place of H 1B employees changes. There are two different situations here. If the actual work place of the employee after the change still belongs to the same geographical area (county) as the work place when submitting the H 1B application, the working conditions application (LCA) is still valid, and the employer does not need to submit the change application to the immigration office. If the actual working place of H 1B employees is beyond the original geographical area, the employer must submit an application for change of H 1B to the Immigration Bureau. The fourth situation is that the nature of the employer company has changed. 12
