L2 Visa Jobs in and around Seattle

Hi Folks, I am in the process of moving to Seattle. Since as per latest USCIS ruling the L2 dependent will be eligible to work in US without needing an EAD, I wanted to get an idea how easy or difficult it is find a job on work authorized L2 visa. My wife has done MCA from a reputed institute in India and has 6+ years of experience working as Business Analyst, currently working with Fidelity Investments as Lead BA. Unfortunately Fidelity doesn't have any Operations business in WA, all are end user banking offices. She is into healthcare domain of Fidelity and deals with business side of things, not tech. What are some recommended job portals apart from LinkedIn where we can browse and get an idea of how the job market is for BA roles in Seattle. I can see that Amazon has tons to BA openings but as per my latest conversation with my colleague (similar case) who recently moved to Seattle, Amazon doesn't hire L2 dependent. Has anyone else experienced the same? She has been a consistent top performer year after year and don't want her to throw away her amazing career that she has made by working hard in these past years. She is super excited for this whole new experience but secretly worried about her job prospects as well. TIA!! TC ~ 250K #amazon #fidelity #jobhunt #recruiting

I got multiple offers with my L2 visa (product analytics, 1YOE with 1 year gap due to waiting for visa)

Thanks for the reply, did you contact them directly or through consultancy?

I was referred for one and applied on the company’s website for the others. Didn’t hear back from any of FAANG except Apple but had already accepted an offer by then

You got any updates on this? I am in the same situation, myself with 5+ years of Data Engineer experience. My wife got L1A from Amazon and I am getting L2S. Our tentative travel date would be around July. And I need to search for job once we reach Seattle. Will it be easy for L2 visa holders to get job around Seattle.

Employers aren’t even allowed to ask what visa you have, just whether or not you’re eligible to work
