Hi blinders,
I am an Sde2 in Amazon dublin looking for opportunities in US. Am I eligible for L1 visa microsoft?(currently working for amazon). I checked the requirement for L1, it states that in the past 3 yrs I should have worked for the company atleast 1 yr . So taking it to consideration am I eligible for L1 visa for both MIcrosoft and Amazon? Also if someone can refer me for Microsoft in US, it would be great. Thank you.

Total yrs of experience- 4.5 yrs
At Amazon dublin- 1.5 yrs(currently working)
At microsoft india - 2yrs
At Accenture India - 1yr

  • In order to go to Amazon US, you don't need to apply again if you are in Amazon already. Just search your internal job board for positions in the US and reach out to the related HM to get the process started.

  • You might be eligible for L1B. But it maxes out in 7 years. So you will have to move to H1 at some point. Also L visas are intra company transfers. You will not be able to switch your employer who will also be the one filing your L visa.

    Assuming you were born in India, it will take more than 10 years to get a GC.

    • You "might" be eligible. L1B is a specialized skill visa while L1A is an executive visa. So if you have a skill, you will be eligible for L1B. And if you are a manager or above, you will be eligible for L1A.

      You will have to discuss with both the companies if they are willing to sponsor you for either of those.
