Sources & how to read these records

Source: U.S. Department of Labor disclosure data. Counts use the identified employer’s certified filings. Each record shows its coverage and refresh dates.

LCA filings precede visa petitions; they are not USCIS approvals or counts of people hired. PERM is separate green card labor certification history and does not establish a green card commitment for a current opening.

H-1B transfers and OPT / STEM OPT support must be confirmed for the individual role. H-1B history does not establish E-Verify participation.

Evidence methodology · Understanding PERM history

How to evaluate Amazon for your job search

Does Amazon sponsor H-1B visas?

The employer entities matched to Amazon have certified H-1B labor condition applications in Openbound’s held government data. This establishes historical filing activity. Historical filings do not confirm sponsorship for a current opening or count USCIS approvals, visas issued or people hired.

H-1B LCA evidence: FY2026: 20,290 certified filings (partial year); FY2025: 23,041 certified filings (complete year).

Government data through: 2026-06-30. Imported into Openbound: 2026-08-14.

Does Amazon support employment-based green cards?

Scope: certified PERM cases for the employer entities matched to Amazon in the held DOL dataset. The counts combine matched entities and exclude denied or withdrawn cases.

Certified PERM cases for Amazon by fiscal year
Fiscal yearCertified casesCoverage
FY202699Partial year
FY202510Complete year
FY20243,676Complete year
FY20236,341Complete year

Government data through: 2026-06-30. Imported into Openbound: 2026-08-16.

PERM labor certification history is separate from H-1B activity. It does not establish an I-140 approval, a green card issuance or a commitment to start PERM for a new employee.

What do current Amazon job postings say?

Openbound’s monitored US inventory contains 13,108 active postings in the snapshot generated on 2026-10-22. Within that inventory, 0 postings contain positive sponsorship language and 982 contain restrictions. A posting may contain conditional language; these signal counts are not a partition of all roles or a count of offers. The snapshot may not cover every opening on the employer’s careers site.

How to check an Amazon requisition for sponsorship

Start with the original Amazon Jobs listing and its job ID. For example, the Seattle Amazon Finance Rotational Program listing (10597230), reviewed November 9, 2026, stated: Please note that we are unable to offer visa sponsorship. This is a dated example for that requisition. Read the original Amazon listing.

For your own opening, confirm the legal employer named for the requisition, check the posting’s wording and ask recruiting about any transfer or visa-specific conditions. The Amazon profile aggregates matched filing entities, so verify the legal employer before applying those historical records to a particular opening.

Does Amazon support H-1B transfers?

The company filing snapshot does not identify H-1B transfers separately. Look for transfer-specific wording on the original posting and ask recruiting to confirm support for the exact requisition and employing entity.

What about OPT or STEM OPT?

Confirm the legal employing entity, current source posting and recruiter guidance for the specific role. H-1B transfer support, OPT / STEM OPT eligibility, E-Verify participation and future PERM support require separate checks. A company’s historical filings do not establish any of these for an individual opening.
