H1B Transfer.

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Prior to 2015, changes of location for H-1B holders were not important. That changed with Matter of Simeio Solutions LLC, a decision in which the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) of USCIS upheld the revocation of a petitioner’s H-1B petition due to changes in the beneficiary’s places of employment, which were not communicated to USCIS. In your case, your transferring from New York City to Philadelphia is not within the same metropolitan statistical zone, and so your employer will have to file a H-1B amendment with USCIS to allow you to legally work in that location. The amendment requires the submission of a new I-129 with documentation and new labor condition application (LCA).

How long would it take for my wife to get her citizenship if I filed for a I130?

Answered by attorney Steve S Paek (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at The Law Offices of Steve Paek
Before your wife can obtain US citizenship, she will need to obtain her permanent residency ie., green card. If you are a permanent resident and you just recently filed your I-130 for your wife, from the Philippines, it could take up to 3 years for her to complete this process. At such time she can join you in the US. After five years, she can then apply for US citizenship. If you can obtain US citizenship yourself, you may be able to reduce the times considerably.

You cannot change status while on Visa WAiver Program in the USA. You do not have visa.  You are waived into the USA without one in exchange for signing ESTA which is both a preapproval of entry and waiver of your rights to removal proceedings and status change.
