An H-1B approved foreign worker may not change jobs and maintain their original H-1B approved status. H-1Bs are specific to an employer/position. This means that an H-1B employee cannot change jobs and continue with their H-1B status. The only way an H-1B employee can change jobs is if the new employer sponsors the foreign worker and the entire H-1B approval process is carried out again. Similarly, if an employer wants to change the terms of the employee’s job, they must submit an amended position to USCIS. This means that an employer cannot significantly change duties or conditions of employment with proper authorization. If the employer amendment is approved, then the H-1B may be continued.
