Asking for a friend.. A friend had previously accepted an offer from another organisation(with a joining scheduled on the second week of june) and the H1B petition filed by this company was picked in this year's HCAP lottery. The approval is currently in the processing stage. In the mean time he received an offer from Amazon(new college hire) which is much more aligned to his area of interest. In this situation is it advisable to accept the offer given that the H1B application is still in processing stage? Trying to contact the recruiter sends an automated response and the earliest telephonic session with an HR rep at Amazon is past the offer acceptance date. I am stuck as I don't want to accept the offer if they are not willing to wait for my H1B petition to be approved, at the same time I don't want to jeapordize the offer without accepting it.
