you answered your question! you are not working remotely. This is about working remotely or your residing address is under 50mile radius from working location!

 

Place of Employment in LCA = H1B Holder’s Employment Geographical Area

The “place of employment” listed in LCA is key to determining the geographic location where the H1B employee can work. As per regulation 20 CFR 655.715, the “place of employment” listed in LCA  is nothing but the “area of the intended employment” and they have a formal definition for it.  The way they determine that “area of intended employment” is by looking at the normal commuting distance.

There is no specific rule for calculating commuting distance, it can be anywhere from 20 to 50 miles.  This is where the Metropolitan Statistical Area(MSA) and Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area (PMSA) are used to determine, if the location you are working falls within the commuting distance. So, technically, the H1B employee can work anywhere in the commutable distance region from the “place of employment” listed in LCA..

I think I should have added a note about Dual LCA in my first post. Here is the background -  Recently joined Mphasis as a FTE. Work location is near Dallas TX. At the time of H1B transfer, Mphasis immigration filed dual LCA - One for TX work location and Other is with my home address of NJ.

Since my work location is TX, there is no state tax being deducted from the salary paychecks. My NJ home address is still there on the paychecks under my name.

Just trying to understand where is the immigration or tax fraud here ? Couple of my friends had dual LCA and worked like this last year, and I'm pretty sure many guyz here working remote from a different state.

Coming to NJ state taxes at the end of the year, I will have to pay resident tax anyways for the period of my stay.

tax should not be a problem but h1 should be definitely amended to include you residence address unless it's within some miles of work place mentioned in LCA.

you are good, no issue here.

Back to the main issue, texas lo taxes migulutayi, so based on your salary decide if it's significant amount. rental antunav kabatti property taxes doesn't matter. Other taxes will balance out each other. Schools and population not much difference. Things to do ante depends on what you do in general. Rent kuda what you are saying is very low for NJ (or any other major state) for 2 Bed apartment, not sure where you live. If you want to just escape snow then may be Florida, Tennessee or Georgia might be better.

I see many people comments about getting drivers license in other state is also a prob lol.

Don’t fear too much man, these are the people who say don’t travel during opt, don’t travel during opt ext, don’t travel during H1b and don’t travel ever.

You are working for your employer and it’s fine if you are working away from your client taking remote as long as your lca and work location stays same as client location. If you didn’t do amendment make sure you file it if you are visiting india simple. 
 

go where you want and don’t listen to all slavery comments here, they know nothing
