疫情期间我们WFH,而且估计会长期WFH。
我在的公司虽然也不算小,但因为不是IT大厂,外国人数量很少,目前也没接到HR或者律师的有关H1B amendment的通知

USCIS官网这么写的
You must file an amended H-1B petition if your H-1B employee changed or is going to change his or her place of employment to a worksite location outside of the metropolitan statistical area (MSA) or an “area of intended employment” (as defined at 20 CFR 655.715) covered by the existing approved H-1B petition, even if a new LCA is already certified and posted at the new location.

我的理解是如果是同一MSA,那基本可以确定不需要H1B amendment,只需要更新下LCA?
但我的情况是,我住的地点跟公司地址不在同一个MSA,但是是在normal commuting distance of the place (address) of employment。。。不确定准确定义,但是离办公室直线距离大概20miles左右,驾驶距离30miles的样子。。像我这种情况需要H1b Amendment么?

我的办公室离MSA的border不远,所以很容易就出了MSA。。我觉得这种情况应该在湾区和纽约附近也比较常见吧,跨MSA但是不垮州。。请问各大厂是怎么处理这事的。。

主要觉得疫情期间处理不想冒风险做H1B Amendment,如果真的需要,也可以搬进同一个MSA,但是如果不需要,就懒得动了
