Dear Blind commnity, does anyone had experience with GC process with Amazon? I heard Amazon doesn’t sponsor green card to L4, is that true? please advise, thanks in advance. engineering L4 #perm #greencard
Pippppppppeeeeedddd
I seriously hope I won’t 😔😔😔
Nah, you can get GC process started as L4, would just need to talk to your manager for extra approval. Bit more hoops than for L5+, but pretty easy L5 and above is self service process.
The hiring manager said he is ok with starting GC process. So I can relax? Lol 😂
Yes, your manager can get it started while you are L4, not a big deal
I walked a couple of engineers through GC while at amazon. Given the cost involved, the ask from my management team was only start the process for L4 if I had high confidence in them getting to L5 in a year or so
What cost you are referring?
Thanks for your reply. From what you saying, is it safe to say that GC is not a equal opportunity for L4s?
I am starting on March 5th in a L5 non tech role. Was planning to talk to my manager about my GC process in 2 months. Is that okay ?
I think you will be able to start GC whenever u want since you are L5.
Great! How do u go about it? Do you tell your recruiter or your manager ?
True
Hi I’ll be joining the firm soon. How did you asked your manager about GC?
You might get pip’ed to meet a quota before you can even file for a GC.
Oh no, really?! Did you have experience filing GC at Amazon?
I did and got my GC in 2018. But I might lose my job now after 6+ years at Amazon.
