Location change under new H-1B wage based lottery
Hey guys, I have been trying to get a concrete answer for this under new visa rules but have been unable to do so.
For context, my H-1B was picked this year under Level 2 at my current company. My current company has it's headquarters in Pennsylvania but the workers are allowed to work remote from anywhere in the US if they want to. I work from the Pennsylvania headquarters and that will be my location for LCA when H1-B petition has been filed.
However, I want to move closer to NYC after a year or so as I don't like where I live right now. Since my company is okay with me becoming remote and working from let's say Jersey City, how difficult would it be for me to transfer my location under the current guidelines? I'm $10k away from being a Level 2 in Jersey City. I believe I can achieve that by next year based on how the ladder works in my company. Assuming I have enough salary of a Level 2 candidate in Jersey City and my company is okay with the Amendment fees for my H-1B amendment, will it be doable?
If not, I would seriously consider changing my company instead and find a company in the NYC region. I do not wish to do that cause my current company has been good to me, will also sponsor my green card and is already quite lenient with the work culture. However, I also feel like I'm wasting my 20s living in a suburban area when I should be living in a lively city and network with people over there. Plus, it's also an immigrants dream (at least for me) to have that city experience once in my life cause ever since I came to the US (3 years ago), I've been living in a suburban area that got old and boring really fast for me.
