Amazon H-1B Salaries and Remote Work Policies

Amazon has shared how much it pays some of its foreign workers in the US through H-1B visa filings.

These filings show that the highest base salary is for a Software Development Engineer at Amazon.com, which is $263,700 per year.

Other high-paying jobs include data scientists and technical product managers.

Amazon also allowed some US-based employees stuck in India due to visa delays to work remotely until March 2, 2026.

However, they have strict rules about what tasks these employees can do.

For example, they cannot code, test software, or manage teams.

These rules are because of local laws in India.

The visa delays are happening because US embassies are taking longer to process visas, sometimes up to 12 months.

This is affecting many workers, not just those from India.
