About Itinerary Requirement

<p>The <b>itinerary requirement</b> (former 8 CFR 214.2(h)(2)(i)(B)) mandated that if an H-1B worker was to be placed at various locations, the petition include an itinerary with dates and addresses.</p><p>In practice, USCIS used it to demand contracts and work assignment details for third-party placements. However, as of <b>Jan 17, 2025</b>, the DHS finalized a rule eliminating the itinerary requirement for H-1Bs, acknowledging it was burdensome and duplicative.</p><p>Now, while an itemized itinerary is not strictly required, employers still must:</p><ul><li>Submit the end-client and worksite details</li><li>File amendments if new worksites are added</li></ul>
