Guide to U.S. Immigration

22. Termination of Employment

All nonimmigrant visas (E,H,L) are automatically terminated if the alien terminates his employment with his sponsoring U.S. company. If the alien remains in the U.S. or travels on the original visa he is in violation of his status in the U.S.

After an alien is in the U.S. under a valid E or L visa, that alien may be transferred to different locations within the same company (for example from Los Angeles to Atlanta) as long as the alien?s job title and duties are not changed. However, if he will work for a different entity (a different but related company) then permission must be obtained from the Citizenship & Immigration Services Office.

If an alien changes companies from one E sponsoring company to another different E sponsoring company, permission must be obtained from the Citizenship & Immigration Services Office.
