Immigration Specialist (NAMER), Immigration
The Immigration Specialist owns the quality assurance program for Amazon’s in-house H-1B and Labor Condition Application (LCA) operations.

The role manages reviewer standards, quality calibration, defect analysis and corrective-action mechanisms across the program.
