For Amazon, yes that seems to be the latest that I have heard.
Most companies want you to be on H1/L visa and not OPT before applying for GC. They won’t even start PERM
If you have a H-1, they can start on day 1. I was given an option on the Visa questionairre asking if I want to start
Hello, Did you mean that when we start h1 transfer with Amazon, they give an option to start perm.process as well?
Need to be SD2
So no perm for sde1? Even with MS degree?
There is nothing of this sort when I applied last year
If you have H1B you can start from day 1. L4 onwards are eligible. Amazon is supportive in this regard.
I didnt have h1b and was on opt. Also started applying from day 1. Got it in a year
I have been at Amazon for 9months now as a Business Analyst and was not selected for the H1B lottery that just happened (sad). But currently interviewing to move to an L5 Senior Account Manager role (even though I am L4 will be working in the capacity of an L5 for some months because of my prior 4years+ experience) in a few weeks, considering speaking with my L7 Manager who is excited about me starting the role to sign off my Green Card process as I join the team. Questions 1) Do you think starting my Green Card process now is a good move as I wasn’t selected for H1B the second time and I only have one more chance for H1B 2) I have a Masters in Business Analytics and Will working as an Account Manager( utilizing data to build/improve top tier businesses on Amazon and streamlining data reporting processes) reduce my chances of getting approved for Green Card 3) How long does the Green card process typically take? Please I will need sincere advice, I am in a Delimma right now! Thanks
Form what I heard there's no waiting period. You can apply for GC on day 1. May be someone from Amazon may confirm.
