Answer
Yes, but employer must file LCA for your work location:
- If you work from home office, LCA must cover that location
- If you travel frequently, may need multiple LCAs
- Prevailing wage based on work location, not employer location
- Employer must post LCA notice at work location
Important: Working from unapproved location violates H-1B. Always inform employer of location changes.
