Will Amazon take me ? 1 year STEM OPT left

I applied to amazon, for a role for which I think I'm pretty qualified and skilled. But I have one year of OPT left, so Amazon will have just one chance to apply for my H1B, so will amazon hire me ? #opt #stem #h1b #amazon

Yes if u pass the hiring bar. 1 year OPT won’t be an issue.

So basically you just have this month?

No, July 2021

That equals 2 H1B tries, how come one?

Verizon GoogEsla OP Feb 5, 2020

Because I'm thinking of the worst case scenario that I dont get this H1B this time because this year we have to file between 1st March and 20th March. So will Amazon take the chance of just 1 H1B filing for next year

Idk about amazon but I have heard that Facebook and Microsoft reject you even if you pass the entire interview loop. This is the information that Microsoft and Amazon blinders themselves have given here. Just putting here since amazon is one of the big n companies. Not sure if that would help you in any way or not

I had 1 year left on STEM OPT. I passed the Amazon interview, got an offer and now I'm working on my GC.
