Answer
Job title changes may require amended petition:
- Material changes (different duties, location, significant salary change) require amended H-1B
- Minor changes (same duties, better title) may not require amendment
- If new title has different prevailing wage, need new LCA
- Consult with immigration attorney to determine if amendment needed
When in doubt: File amended petition to be safe. Better to file than risk violation.
