Understanding H-1B Location Data
How is work location determined?
The work location on an LCA represents where the H-1B worker will primarily perform their duties. For remote positions, this is typically the worker's home office address. For on-site roles, it's the employer's office or client site.
Metro area considerations
Large metro areas often have multiple cities listed separately (e.g., San Jose and Sunnyvale in the Bay Area). When evaluating a job market, consider nearby cities as well.
