Green Card Android Engineer Jobs
Android Engineer roles qualify for EB-2 and EB-3 green card sponsorship when the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science or a related field. Employers file a PERM labor certification with DOL before submitting the I-140 petition, permanently sponsoring you for U.S. residency rather than a temporary work authorization.

About Stripe

About The Team
Stripe Terminal helps our users extend their online presence to the physical world. The Terminal team's mission is to make it as easy for businesses to accept in-person payments as the Stripe API has done for online payments. Stripe was founded to make it easier for developers to accept payments. We've solved a small part of that problem, but our ambition is to go much further. Android engineers on the Terminal team will build and enhance the Device Platform including the applications and services that run on the physical Terminal devices. This also includes building the frameworks for other engineers, both internal and external to Stripe, to develop on our custom platform with ease.

In-office expectations
Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as an Android Engineer
Document your Android specializations before applying
Gather evidence of your technical depth: published apps, contributions to open-source Android projects, and any architecture-level responsibilities. PERM audits scrutinize whether your credentials match the employer's minimum requirements, so misalignment here stalls the entire filing.
Target employers with active PERM filing history
Search the DOL's PERM disclosure data to identify companies that have filed labor certifications for software engineering roles before. Employers with zero PERM history face a steeper internal approval process, which often kills sponsorship conversations before an offer is made.
Find green card sponsoring Android roles on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Android Engineer positions by employers with EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship history. This surfaces roles where the hiring manager already understands the PERM timeline, cutting weeks off your job search.
Clarify SOC code assignment with your employer early
PERM filings for Android Engineers typically fall under a Software Developers SOC code, which affects the prevailing wage your employer must pay. Confirm the DOL classification before the labor certification is filed, since reclassification after filing restarts the clock.
Verify the prevailing wage before accepting an offer
Use the OFLC Wage Search to check the Level I through Level IV prevailing wage for your SOC code and work location. If your offered salary falls below the DOL-certified level, your employer must increase it before PERM can be submitted.
Understand how EB-3 priority dates affect your timeline
For most countries outside India and China, EB-3 priority dates are current or close to current, meaning your green card process can move quickly after I-140 approval. Confirm your country's cutoff date in the monthly Visa Bulletin before committing to a multi-year sponsorship plan.
Green Card Android Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Android Engineer role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most Android Engineer positions qualify for EB-3 as skilled workers requiring a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field. Roles requiring a master's degree or demonstrating advanced research components may qualify for EB-2. The specific degree requirement written into the PERM job description determines which category applies, so the job duties and minimum requirements your employer files are critical.
How does PERM green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for an Android Engineer?
H-1B visa is a temporary work visa with an annual lottery cap and a six-year maximum stay without further action. PERM-based EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship leads to permanent residency with no annual cap at the petition level, though visa number availability depends on your birth country. The PERM process also locks in a priority date from the labor certification filing, which can run concurrently with H-1B employment while your green card processes.
How long does the PERM and green card process take for Android Engineers?
DOL currently processes standard PERM applications in roughly 12 to 18 months, though audit selections extend this timeline significantly. After PERM approval, your employer files the I-140 petition with USCIS, which takes several months under standard processing. For applicants born outside India and China, adjustment of status or consular processing can often begin immediately after I-140 approval, putting total timelines in the two to three year range in straightforward cases.
Where can I find Android Engineer jobs that offer green card sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search Android Engineer roles specifically filtered by employers with EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship history, so you're not wasting time on positions where sponsorship is theoretical rather than practiced. Targeting companies with documented PERM filing activity dramatically increases the chance that your offer conversation includes a concrete sponsorship commitment rather than a vague promise to explore options later.
Can my employer start the PERM process while I'm on H-1B status?
Yes. Employers can file a PERM labor certification for you regardless of your current visa status, and many Android Engineers begin the green card process while working on H-1B. Once your I-140 is approved and your priority date is current, you can file for adjustment of status or consular processing. An approved I-140 also strengthens your position for H-1B extensions beyond the standard six-year cap under AC21 portability rules.
