Anyone recently start an H1B transfer process with Amazon? Working with fragomen towards a Jan 4th start date and unwilling to join on receipt due to uncertainty/ risk. Curious to see how flexible Amazon has historically been with waiting for approval and how quickly their lawyers push things through.

Working with fragomen for H1B transfer too but different tech company. Have been told by fragomen to not give notice until I obtain petition approval.

This is interesting because I’m working with BAL for my transfer to Amazon. They went ahead and gave the green light to recruitment for me to get started as soon as they filed my petition. Now I’m having to explain to my hiring manager and recruiter why I can’t join until they approve my petition and I serve my 2 weeks notice. Stressing me out to say the least

I did tell my recruiter up front that my projected start date is approval + 2 weeks. They seemed open to that and since Amazon files everything as premium processing anyway, you might be fine with waiting a little bit.

Today I learned a new thing. One candidate was referred by a colleague of mine in the system. He got selected and offer letter rolled out.

When he checked the system he realized the referral was not taken and the background system captured it as direct hire.

So my friend is not going to get any referral incentive.

Wondering if anyone else faced the same issue?

Sure enough, it was fraud and charges began to come in. I received 105k points but feel it should be more. What amount of points have you received and what’s?
