What are the consequences of working remotely without an amended LCA on an H-1B visa?
ANSWER
FAQ Transcript
Unauthorized remote work without a proper LCA is considered a status violation. Unlike marriage to a US citizen, marriage to a Legal Permanent Resident does not forgive status violations or unauthorized employment for Adjustment of Status (I-485). Affected individuals (such as Canadian citizens) may need to travel abroad, re-enter on a valid H-1B to cure the violation, and refile the I-485.
