What is the ‘site visit verification process’?

The ‘site visit verification process’ is an inspection used by United States authorities to confirm that the information provided by an employer in an H-1B visa petition accurately reflects the actual work location.

In practice, an authorized official or representative may visit the address listed in the petition documents to verify items such as the existence of an adequate workspace, the declared address, and whether the conditions described (including those presented in the Labor Condition Application (LCA)) are accurate.

The goal is to bring transparency to the process and protect both the professional and the local labor market, preventing inconsistent information from undermining the integrity of the system. Keeping all records accurate and up to date throughout the process is therefore essential.

If you are going through this type of verification, it is advisable to follow official guidance and, if in doubt, seek support from an immigration specialist, keeping in mind that each case is unique.
