When is the last date of acceptance date before which Amazon can sponsor H1B Lottery? That is, if you join near end of March, are they able to file h1b for you for the same year? How long do they need to prep h1b application?
Did they start the process immediately after you signed the offer or after you joined?
After signing the offer
March 15 is the cutoff date.
Is that a hard cutoff date or just a guidance?
I’m joining them two weeks from now. But I had accepted their offer two weeks ago and they started the immigration process through Fragomen. The recruiter informed me about it while determining the start date. Later I also confirmed with Fragomen that they need at least 2-3 weeks to process, file LCA and then the H1B lottery. I got done with the process and offer just in time.
