A USCIS policy memo provides final guidance on when a petitioner is required to file an amended or new H-1B petition following the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) precedent decision in Matter of Simeio Solutions, LLC. The memo includes information on how to become compliant with Simeio, and USCIS states that it will consider filings for changes in the place of employment that occurred on or before the Simeio decision to be timely during a safe harbor period, which runs until January 16, 2015.
