Amazon Green Card Policy

Hi, I read several posts here that Amazon can sponsor Green Card on day 1 but my recruiter says I’ll need to work for a minimum 1 year and achieve certain performance review before they will initiate the process. I am joining as SDE-1. Is this a question better asked to my manager or is recruiter the person with the best information regarding this? Also, does the organization matter? Thanks

AFAIK day 1 for L5 and above. Need to talk with your manager in your case.

What level are you? For L5 and above, it is day 1. For L4, you require manager approval. HRs don’t really understand much about immigration related questions. So please find out your level and be certain your manager is comfortable with signing off prior to joining.

I think for I-485 you you need to be L5. You can file I-140 on L4 isn't it?

I'd agree with it but recently the lawyer seems not want to move forward if L4 doesn't have enough working experience out of Amazon ☹️ looking for more DPs to convince the lawyer
