H-1B Site Visit Compliance: What Employers Should Be Ready to Show

H-1B employers should be prepared for possible worksite verification. A site visit may focus on whether the company exists, whether the H-1B worker is employed in the approved role, whether the work location matches the petition, and whether the employer can explain the job duties, wage, supervision, and business need.

The employer should keep a clean record set that includes the petition approval, Labor Condition Application, public access file, job description, organizational chart, payroll records, worksite address information, end-client or vendor documents when relevant, and evidence that the employee is performing the approved specialty occupation duties.

Remote, hybrid, third-party, and changed worksite arrangements require extra attention. If the employee has moved to a new location, changed duties, moved to a different client project, or experienced a material employment change, the employer should review whether a new LCA or amended H-1B petition is needed.

New Horizons Legal helps employers prepare H-1B compliance files, respond to site visit questions, and identify petition updates before a routine verification creates avoidable immigration risk.
