#h1b #rfe #amazon

hi, i got an offer from Amazon in first week of December and they applied for my Visa on 10th of Jan and got RFE on 15th Jan. Just got to know from Fragomen that it will atleast take 4-5 weeks to get Expert opinion letter and they will review and submit the reaponse for RFE in Mid of March and they have asked Amazon to extend the start date to April as USCIS will take atleast 2 weeks from there.

By the time March or April it would be around 4-5 months since i got the first offer letter, will there be any chance that Amazon might look for some other resource than waiting on me.? As anyone faced this situation. or should i start looking for other project.

  • Also remember that there is no gurantee that the hiring manager can find a non h1b candidate have them interviewed and on boarded before April. So most would prefer to wait it out. Have a talk with Amazon hr about the same . It's also a good time for you to find other offers

      My only worry is, because of the delays and not sure about the urgency of the position will Amazon look for another candidate to fill this position.

      Most of the candidates they get will need H1 and might have the same timeline to join. Don’t worry!

  • It’s pretty common these days ... most recruiters and HM have been in this position .... and usually they wait for the adjudication ...

      Ok. As long as they wait for me, I will I’m ok. Now a days getting job is thing and getting cleared with Visa one other big thing.

    • To be safe you can continue to interview elsewhere as well ... no one is stopping you

    Depends on your manager, how much they liked you and how urgently they need you. In my project my manager waited for a new hire in similar situation.
