As an Eastern European O&O developer, I can only hope that they will support the H1B visa reform with the same wording and the same dedication. It's impossible for talent to get into US. Amazon recruiters directly say that they'd rather hire you to Vancouver and transfer you later than even attempt to play the 30% chance lottery. Why does this anti-Trump hysteria take over logic in the US is beyond my understanding. Only if Mozilla is interested in Indian slaves and uses all the buzzwords as keywords for hiring them.
- k-mcgrady 10y agoIf your goal is working for Amazon why not go and do it in Vancouver? Or somewhere in Europe?
- mehta 10y agoA few points to point out: from your post, it sounds like Amazon never applies for h1b which is not true. They just don't prefer to use it for a person who is not already in USA. They do apply for the visa where it makes sense. If they chose to go h1b route, they will have to apply for a visa and then wait for 6 months before the person can actually work(and the developer could still choose to not join thereby making the visa application useless). Clearly, going through Canada is a better option for them.
