I’m not starting in 3 weeks. Just received questionnaire from Fragomen. What is this for exactly? FYI, I have 32 months of OPT left, so no need of H1B transfer etc. Also if someone has done this before, does “most recent employment” mean Amazon or company before Amazon if I hasn’t started with Amazon yet? Do I have to actually attach all the copies they ask for at the end now? It seems a lot. Would really appreciate your help!
Is this your first time trying to work on a H1-B visa? These are pretty standard questions. Also most recent employer will be your previous employer, not Amazon. You haven't even started working for them.
The questionnaire is for your 2019 H1b application, they generally send out this questionnaire to everyone who needs visa in future. Your recent employment would be your current company. And yes, you do need to attach the documents.
Wow, those documents are a lot.. thank you!
since you are on OPT, Amazon files H1-B on your behalf the fragomen questionnaire is the documents require to prepare your petition for 2020 H1 B where they expect the required documents be provided by January 31st 2019. The previous employer is not Amazon, it would be your previous employer if you worked before amazon.
Thank you blind!
It’s good that you are joining right after school with all this h1b transfer issues around . Mind sharing your offer details and yoe ?
Sure. worked 4 months after undergrad on OPT. Non seattle/bay office, first year TC around 130k, average of 4 year around 146k
Even though you have 32 months left, Amazon would still want to file for your h1b in 2019 april. the main reason is that if you wait to 2020 April, there is no guarantee of being selected (if there is a lottery). This way, they will have 2 attempts for getting your h1b approved.

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
Visa probably
