EB1 at Amazon

What is the official policy for green card filing at Amazon? Recruiter told me that standard policy is to wait 6 months after joining to initiate the green card process. EB category is determined by the lawyers and if I fit into EB1 bucket, they will file one. Does anyone know if they can start the process as soon as I join? And how much willing are they to file EB1 for PhDs with decent publication rceord. The position is L6

I have been told Day 1 onwards. Very clearly by the recruiter.

You are already working for Amazon..so did you start the process on day 1?

Amazon hodlfryrli Oct 9, 2019

I didn't but I was told I could. Just didn't have time to do paperwork for eb1

You can start on day1. Officially there is no restriction. It’s just a small manager approval

I heard amazon doesn’t do EB1B. They’ll only do EB1A. Please check with the recruiter if that matters to you.

This guy rocks. He is trying to pull you down . Just do eb1c

Intel khDQ65 OP Oct 10, 2019

Apple guy, EB1A and EB1B should cost the same. So no sense in doing one, and not doing another.
