Had to travel india a month back for urgent family issues. My PTO/vacation is almost over but I am not able to reschedule my late July stamping appointment. Is there anybody in Amazon who has faced similar situation?.
What did your HRBP/Manager advice you to do?
I understand I can work for only 10 days wfh. What are my alternatives/options in this case?. I have heard LOA could be one but I was wondering if Amazon has a solution as the visa issues affecting H1b are real and painful.
Visa stamping anxiety is real.
TC - 165k
Update : The HR doesn’t have any solution apart from an extended leave of absence. My appointment is scheduled in 3 months. So essentially I could possibly join back in Sept if everyone goes well. I have seen people working from india for months but I guess that’s mostly illegal Atleast Amazon policy wise. I will try for an earlier appointment that’s the only controllable.
On shifting to an Indian payroll - HR was like it would make things more complicated and my org doesn’t have a sister team in India.
Not sure what my other options could be apart from taking leave of absence. Can I change teams during LOA - finding a team which had india and US presence?.

My team is solely in Seattle and doesn’t have an Indian presence.
Should I look for a team which has both?.
