Almost reached end of 4th year in h1b. Perm not yet filed due frequent layoffs in Cisco.
FB recruiter told me that FB won't hire h1b candidates after 4th year without i140 .

Is there any restriction like this in Google and Amazon ?

    They even hire people with less than 2 months of OPT. That's the only giant that will take risk on your immigration status

    I recently got an offer from Amazon. Into my 4th year currently. Renewal happened last year in Aug after first 3 years. No I140 yet for me. Amazon did mention they will file my I140 from day 1.

    Yes I had the same problem. Companies are reluctant to hire if youโ€™ve less than 2 years to your sixth year without I140 in place. Both Facebook and Amazon asked me the same question before interviewing, and told me they cannot interview me. Itโ€™s best to get your PERM and subsequently I140 wherever youโ€™re right now.
