I am considering joining Amazon on receipt since the H1b approval process can take up to 6 months. I wanted to know what you guys think about my chances of getting rejected for H1b transfer. Here is my profile:

-MS, Electrical Engg. and MBA from US universities.
-10 years of experience in Electrical Engg firm in US, Never faced any H1b renewal issues, visa interviews at consulate lasted less 5 mins each time.
-Approved I140 from current employer.
-Wife has H4 EAD
-Have a kid, who is a US citizen.
-Job profile at Amazon requires electrical engineering experience with 6+ years experience.

Your thoughts ? Appreciate your opinion .

I will check with Fragomen, but i wanted a neutral opinion too.

    You can talk whatever you want and think whatever you want. At the end of the day it only takes some mad idiot to reject your h1b.

    Risk is too high. USCIS probably doesn’t care that you have an H4 EAD wife and a US citizen kid. If you are rejected your wife will lose her job as well.

    Do people of Indian descent just not know how to use the search feature? There are literally thousands of duplicates of this EXACT question. The specifics of each individual case are immaterial.
