Do you know what Amazon does if h1b transfer gets denied and you have already joined? Before refilling will they relocate you?

  • You are worrying too much. Their lawyers/HR won’t let you join if there are going to be issues.

      This is simply not true. Lawyers like to have the the least amount of liability in such issues. They will clearly mention there is a risk of denial with jointing in receipt. If they don’t, they’re just bad lawyers.

    Don’t join on receipt. And if you do ask them about a fall back option. If you are an SDE, Amazon will not cancel an offer letter due to visa reason or delay in joining. I will just wait out in your current role and then join the new role.

      This isn't for a sde and recruiter hinted not waiting due to urgent needs in the team. I did reason with her saying relocating me in case of denial will be more of a headache but she avoided the question.. So I am wondering if they even have a relocation policy in case of denial

      Unless confirmed verbally or in writing, I won’t take that. FAANG companies getting H1b RFEs right left and center. And many rejects as well. If you have a job, I recommend that you just wait out. One job in hand is better than awesome job in bushes. Also, since you have cleared interview once, they can consider you for other roles in future. I would say you can take the risk and see if it works out.

      So I went through this 3 years back. Premium processing was on hold so had the option of giving up on the job offer or take a chance by joining on receipt. Fast forward 4 months later had an RFE and then denial a bit later.

      Lawyers filed for fresh filing the same day as my old visa was still valid and it gave me some more runway. I eventually got approved but it was nerve wracking to say the least.
