H-1B employment authorization is for a specific position at a minimum specified salary for a specific employer in a specific geographical area. Any changes in employment status—such as new job duties, a new job title, a new job location (working remotely/telecommuting from another city), or a transfer to another department/unit —require the prior review of ISSA. Consultation with ISSA to determine whether a new petition is required should occur three months prior to the anticipated change in employment status to allow sufficient time for any necessary processing which must take place. Engaging in employment not covered in the petition approval is considered a violation of status by US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
DEPARTURE/TRANSFER
H-1B employees should notify ISSA of their departure or transfer to another institution. If you will be leaving Notre Dame, contact Employment Immigration Manager, Erin Clark (eclark32@nd.edu), via email.
