Amazon is allowing some H-1B visa holders stranded in India to work remotely until March 2, 2026, due to US visa processing backlogs. However, an internal memo reveals strict limitations: employees cannot code, test software, make strategic decisions, negotiate contracts, or interact with customers. They must work from non-Amazon locations and cannot visit company sites in India. This policy aims to keep employees on payroll while navigating visa disruptions impacting many US tech companies.
