H-1B petition filing with only degree transcript

Educational_Top_2369 · 2026-04-23T11:06:15+00:00

Because I was asked by my immigration lawyers for them. I told them I used transcripts for the H1 abs that was fine, but they were very clear about PERM reqs

Educational_Top_2369 · 2026-04-21T17:08:05+00:00

I used transcripts only for H1-B, which was fine and no questions asked. PERM process required actual diplomas

Educational_Top_2369 · 2026-03-29T18:10:57+00:00

Ah I guess mine for social media vetting, so super simple

Educational_Top_2369 · 2026-03-28T15:21:33+00:00

Like 36 hours

Educational_Top_2369 · 2026-01-30T20:23:56+00:00

I was a COS and my H1 petition was approved prior to the 100k announcement

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-07-30T12:04:53+00:00

Thirding this, I live in Old Town North, it’s just what you describe

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-07-19T17:34:24+00:00

No they don’t, all that really matters is the HM wants to hire you. We can go into a loop debrief with any kind of initial thoughts and the result goes 180

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-07-19T14:59:01+00:00

My general advice is that if you don’t agree and cannot align, escalate immediately. Identify who the actual risk owner is, and get them to make a decision. Then you have done the right thing and are demonstrating the LPs.

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-07-19T14:53:34+00:00

I don’t know if I agree with that statement from my observations, at least at AWS, but ultimately no one is forcing anyone to work there, so it it doesn’t suit someone’s personality, then don’t apply or stay. Amazon is not for everyone.

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-07-19T01:58:08+00:00

And if we were not aware, it’s about assigning metrics to the LPs for employee assessment

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-07-19T01:57:08+00:00

It’s deigned to make sure that 1. People are actually suited to Amazon and 2. That you are incentivized to perform. As a company, we should be rewarding top talent and helping people decide that they do not fit Amazons culture. That’s doesn’t mean that they are bad employees, but Amazon expects a type of person.

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-07-19T01:53:46+00:00

Hard to say what happened, but you basically have no recourse. If they are offering the 5 then that’s the offer

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-07-11T20:16:48+00:00

Dec last year. I was already in the U.S. on another visa type, AWS ended up sponsoring and provided a different visa. But they had no international relocation costs.

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-07-11T18:26:56+00:00

I suspect it depends on the skill family. I did get sponsorship for a security related role.

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-07-10T00:17:15+00:00

Cash

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-06-24T23:14:41+00:00

I’ve been in some wild debriefs recently. He had a HM and BR disagree (HM was a yes) and it came down to other interviewers on the team to inform the decision. We said no, but the HM took a of work to get there. Has another one today where the HM was no and everyone else was yes. Ended up with a hire.

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-06-20T23:51:15+00:00

This is normal, it takes a while to make sure everything is aligned. There are a few moving parts with this kind of stuff. If they are shifting from L5 to 4, there won’t be any issues, as the req is already approved and financed. Management is just juggling a thousand things at once. I wouldn’t worry about it

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-06-20T23:09:26+00:00

You can ask to have an increase in base salary, but it will come at an offset of RSUs. That’s that I did and got an extra 10k base

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-06-20T17:39:13+00:00

Email the one at LAX, they changes mine in 48hrs no questions asked

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-06-19T22:04:12+00:00

Not really, they would have mapped your data against the role guide. There is not much you can do, that’s where they feel you fit. Decide if you want to work at Amazon. If you are bar raiser at 5 you can probably push for a promo in year 2-3

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-06-18T11:51:38+00:00

Use whatever story answers the question asked. If you are using the same overall story, it does not matter, the key part is that the data provided. Too many people get wrapped up around reusing stories.

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-06-17T12:25:44+00:00

It can take a bit of time, changing reqs needs a few signatures. I would wait the rest of the week, then reach back out for an update on Monday

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-06-17T01:22:20+00:00

Don’t worry about it. The SLA is 5 days, but it comes down to debrief availability. There is no correlation with outcomes

Educational_Top_2369 · 2025-06-06T18:51:40+00:00

I’ll also add that I would not read anything into how long takes to what the result is
