If so, did you get RFEs? Would it be a problem if i consider switching job while it is pending? Would it delay the current processing time? Do you suggest I wait for my EAD card? Would Amazon be okay if I request to extend the joining date? Joining Amazon as L5 SDE2. TC: 265k YoE: 2.5
Talk to your school and after that to the recruiter at amazon they know the best
I spoke with my school, they said it’s a possible to do that but sometimes may get RFE. I’m concerned a bit and would not want to lose offer.
How do you have YOE 2.5 if you're on STEM OPT pending
1.5 years after Bachelors, both bachelors and work experience being in US after which I went for Masters and started working last year. So a total of 2.5 years experience.
Could you please provide some insights? Would Amazon be okay to extend joining date by 3 weeks? I’ve already requested them to extend it by two weeks for the same reason.
Yes, you can switch jobs when OPT extension is pending. I did this back in 2012 - I didn't get an RFE but I think the only requirement for applying for extension is that you are currently employed and will continue to be so.
I applied for STEM OPT extension while I was in Oracle and switched jobs. I am also worried about getting an RFE but I had to make the switch. I have heard only a couple of instances where people have gotten RFE
When did you make this switch? This year? Did you get RFE? Did you report the change to your school? I called up my school today and they said I could report the change after I get the EAD card to be on a safe side. But what did you do?
I switched jobs while my STEM OPT was pending and I didn’t get RFE. It might delay your application process for few weeks but unless you have filed your application correctly I think you should be fine.
Hey OP, what did you do finally? I am on a similar situation.
Hey OP, could you share how you went about this?
Just curious what is your TC at Amazon?
