Hey All, I am anticipated to join Azure as a PM in roughly a month. I am not a US citizen and am from a country that apparently needs an export license, in additon to work visa, to work in azure. My OPT is already approved but my on boarding process is stuck in getting the export license. I have been trying to contact DREC regarding the status of the license application but I havent heard anything back. Does anyone know how long the process can take? Do you have any experience with the process? #azure #visa #license #export
Mine took about a year, but this was 2018. My H1 transfer also got an RFE, so by the time that went through I already had my export license lol
Oh god lol that doesn’t sound promising. Did it take one year from DREC first contact or 1 year after they applied for your license?
One year total. About 8 months to get approval. Took them forever to prep the application, not sure why. I think it might have been because they were aware of the delay with my visa situation, so they were prioritizing other applications, which makes sense.
