Getting a green card has become an important tool for U.S. companies that want to hire people from other countries. Amazon stands out from the rest of these companies.
Aside from giving its employees jobs and the chance to legally live in the U.S., Amazon also pays its workers adequately. This piece talks about what you need to do and how to do it to get a job at Amazon.
Are you eligible for Amazon Green Card Sponsorship?
There are a few important things that must be done for Amazon to support your green card application. First, the worker must have a job that qualifies, usually one that requires a lot of specialized knowledge at a professional, technical, or executive level.
- Eligibility in professional, technical, or managerial roles.
- Positions requiring significant expertise and specialization.
Amazon offers a path not just to a fulfilling career but also to living legally in the United States, making it an attractive option for international talent.
The PERM Certification Process
Companies like Amazon have to show that there are no qualified American workers open for the job before they can hire someone from another country. This is done through PERM, the process for getting a work permit. There are three very important steps in the PERM process:
- Labor Certification: Amazon must submit an application to the U.S. Department of Labor.
- Immigrant Petition: Amazon files Form I-140 with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
- Green Card Application: Once a visa becomes available, you can apply for an adjustment of status (if already in the U.S.) or consular processing (if you are outside the country).
Green Card: Salaries and Benefits of Working at Amazon
People who work at Amazon get good benefits and pay that is reasonable. The pay is based on the type of job and where it is located. For example, at Amazon, a software worker can make between $100,000 and $150,000 a year, not counting bonuses and stock awards.
What is the average processing time for the green card application process
The normal processing time for a green card application depends on the type of green card and the specifics of the applicant, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Here are some important things to think about:
- Family-based green cards: Getting a family-based green card can take anywhere from 7 months to 10 years or more, depending on how close the person is to the U.S. citizen or permanent resident sponsor and where the sponsor is from.
- Employment-based green cards: Getting an employment-based green card can take anywhere from 6 months to several years, depending on the type of job the person has and where they are from.
- Diversity Visa green cards: Diversity Visa green cards usually take between 6 and 12 months to process from the time the application is made to the time the green card is issued.
- Refugee/Asylee green cards: The processing time for refugee or asylee green cards is usually 8-14 months from the time of the initial application.
