Please put my mind at ease
My question relates to the H1b visa. Is it is condition that you must work in the USA? For example, if it has been granted and the family is in the USA and is in the GC application process, can the H1b visa holder go and work outside the USA for their US employer? I would have thought the answer would be no. But maybe you can help. It's not my family.

We've just started ours on an L visa and the lawyers have explicitly told us this repeatedly. No promotions, no transfers, no change in who you manage, and no moving house. If it is just a work trip for the current position, I believe if you have filed the correct paperwork allowing international travel that is fine. Something to check with the lawyers though. |

I'm pretty sure that not only can you get promoted, you can also move!

Ian I'm no expert on this by any stretch, just going on the explicit details we've been given. |

The EAD has nothing to do with moving house.
Rene We were told that it would cause complications and may lead to us having to refile the GC application if we moved house before the EAD portion of the GC process had been granted. I will now bow out of this thread. I said I was no expert, but as we are currently going through the process offered the advise we have been told by the two different sets of lawyers dealing with our case. |

You replied "Before or after you received your EAD? We've been told it's ok after we have that in hand." It sounded like you were correlating being OK to move house, with having an EAD in hand.

There is a portion of the GC process where you receive the EAD, usually one or two months before the actual GC is received
Edit: The company lawyers dealing with our application was Fragomens...they advised us every step of the way. |
