NY Flushing Queens, Manhattan immigration Lawyer Attorney news Marriage Family Sponsor green card Extension Citizenship reentry permit invite parents
I’m an H-1B holder. I was working at a job in Manhattan, but since switching to remote work, I’ve been working from my home in Queens.
Could starting remote work like this cause any problems?
I’d also like to know if I need to separately notify USCIS of an address change.

Yes, if you were working in Manhattan and switch to working from home in Queens, in principle you would need to get a new LCA issued for your current address, since the county has changed. However, realistically, given that remote work is happening due to COVID, going through the process of filing for and obtaining a new LCA places a significant burden on USCIS, and there’s likely no real way to verify whether remote work actually took place.
