Hi blinders

Currently on h1b. Have one shot left. Have an offer from LinkedIn. I wanted to know what happens if I don't get h1b. The recruiter told me they will move me to India and then apply for L1.
How true is that? Does anyone know for sure if LinkedIn applies for L1? How common/uncommon is it?

Offered tc 250k

Tc 180k
YoE 2

Thanks

  • You can also be moved to Canada (policy changed this year) and after 15-18 months can be bought back on L1
    This only applies if you have worked for at-least 12 months at LinkedIn

    • I don’t think recruiter knows this policy change. Management has learned a lesson this time so they have changed the policy for good. Almost 30 people are going to Canada this year. Only catch is you need to be working for at-least 12 months so don’t worry much. However, moving to Canada comes with a big pay cut which is almost 40% net. in base.

      I will be working for 20 months and also I am a high performer at Amazon, so don't think performance should be an issue too. I do understand the pay cut. Still better than losing employment at worst. For amazon, it is 30% base cut, 40% looks slightly more though. BTW, did you move to Canada? Can I dm you for some questions, please?

    You need to work in India for at least 2 years to be eligible for L1 (company rules, not US immigration requirement)

  • I know we do L-1 visas, one of my former team mates came from India on an L-1 visa. But idk about this situation where they move you to India and bring you back. I think I would try to get that in writing and also confirm with the hiring manger.
