Overview

 

H-1B visa status is employer-specific for a specific position and a limited period of time.  You are authorized to work for only the institution noted on the I-797.

Any substantial changes in the conditions of employment must be reported by in advance to PIPS, including:

  •     Any decrease in salary
  •     Significant increase in salary
  •     Significant change in responsibilities (promotion or other changes)
  •     Any change in source of funding
  •     Location/Lab moves

All visas processed by our office are employer-dependent and all requests must be made by your hiring department.  Please speak with your department's Administrative contact person and/or supervisor about any proposed changes.
