Amazon new grad H1-b process

I’m an incoming new grad SDE 1 at amazon this july. They are in the process of applying for H1-b and they were originally going ahead with the “bachelors” quota but now they ask me if i could I get a letter from registrar stating “complete all the master’s requirements but only waiting on issuance of diploma” , I’ll graudate by may 2020 btw, is this possible or should I just stick with the bachelors quota? Has anyone here done it before? Any help would be great. TC: ~149

If you still have a course or research paper left or still waiting for final grades, you might not get that letter as you are still to meet all requirements. You can contact your university about it. They will help you. But be sure to apply for h1b even if it is on bachelor quota.

I've read some articles. People have sent this "on course of graduating in May" letters from colleges. It's not a fool proof way though Some do get considered as Masters student, some not.

This years registration will start on March 1 and results will be out by March 30. It doesnt look like you will get or complete your degree requirements by that date. So “complete all the masters requirements” is going to be a misleading statement. Its surprising why your company is asking this but better stay safe and dont kill your chances of getting a visa in the future by doing this.
