An Indian person worked in US on H1B VISA and got approved I-140 (>6 months). Then moved to Canada with same company Canadian subsidiary (Toronto) and got Canadian PR currently living in Windsor, ON (Remote role).

In the works...Planning to make internal transfer from CAN to US back with same company keeping current remote role in US by living in Windsor due to Spouse employment offer in US. Spouse coming from India to Canada first and then planning to apply H1B+H4+EAD together as opposed to applying separately. Spouse employer okay to move to US payroll as long as no immigration paperwork filing required from employer's end (whole reason for posting thread). Prior to US to Canada move, I worked onsite in US so H1B LCA must have had office address, but now planning to work remote in US. Current H1B (valid stamp) expiring Aug 2023.
  1. Q- Does LCA filing required prior H1B extension? Never been in this situation (always had H1B extension with same company same location previously), nvm. How long does it take for LCA?
  2. Q- Is it still taking under 2weeks to get all 3 H1B Ext+H4(New)+EAD(New) approved under premium processing if bundled together even if filed from Canada? any data points?
  3. Q- Does giving relatives/friends address or mail forwarder address like shipsy for US address during H1B extension filing will have any issues? If Yes, then does regular visits required to that location? frequency?
  4. Q- Sorry if this Q answered multiple times before. Does renting a place in Detroit is required as I'm planning to stay in Windsor until meting Citizenship physical presence requirements?
  5. Can someone who applied H1B Extension + H4 (New) + EAD premium processing together from Canada kindly DM? TIA.
