Comments on: What is the E3 Visa? http://e3visa.info/2009/02/18/what-is-the-e3-visa/ From E3 Visa to H1B Visa and All US Immigration Info Wed, 08 Sep 2010 04:05:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Lee Lim http://e3visa.info/2009/02/18/what-is-the-e3-visa/comment-page-2/#comment-10692 Lee Lim Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:01:35 +0000 http://e3visa.info/?p=82#comment-10692 Hi CJ Thanks for an insightful website! I am going through the E3 application at the moment. I'm on OPT F1 transferring to E3. We have received the approved LCA so have a few questions if you can help clarify from your experience: - After reading your post above, I am confused as to whether my employer has to fill out an i 129 which is what he has done. But at the same time, do I need to fill out DS 160 as I am currently living in US. - What supplementary forms with i-129 does he have to fill out? The H1B? - When I submit the i-129, do I have attach anything else or do I wait until the interview. I have already photocopied all my transcripts and Australian citizenship certificate, should I send it along with the form. Thanks so much. So many people told me I should go with a lawyer but I am determine that with my 3 degrees, I can figure this out with my employer. Thanks. Lee Hi CJ

It is very helpful and I imagine how busy keeps you answering all questions and in such a kind manner. My respects! Well, I am now wanted to be added to the list of people seeking answers to their doubts about the always labourious path of getting a work visa to USA. I am an engineer with 15+ experience and with one master degree obtained from an US university. I've been looking for a job in the USA and I am in the way to probably get an offer. If I get the offer, I assume I qualified for the E3 visa in the terms of having a job offered and the professional qualifications but I don't have any property or investment to show to the US consulate officials, but I got credit cards, bank statements and superannuation here. Do you think this can be an issue for granting the visa or with what I have here is enough for the process? Thanks CJ for all the efforts you are putting in this magnificent site. Ausengineer Hi CJ,

I assume they have filed the form into the Dept of Labor. Where would you reccommend I make an appointment for an interview for a quick process? Of course I could return to Sydney but I was hoping to do it a little closer to the US. I have heard there are time issues with having the interview in Canada. Do you know of anyone that has received their visa in places such as Mexico / The Carribean / Central America and if you do, what are their experiences? Thankyou so much in advance Hey CJ,

I FINALLY have found a job in the US and have my interview coming up very soon. My question is relating to the 3-yr bachelor degree requirement; I've got a 3 year commerce degree from Macq. Uni but how do I know if this will be sufficient? I didn't study honors or anything else. I do have full time work experience broken up over the past few years but I would prefer to go with my degree. Do you know how they asses this? Thanks!! Hey CJ!

The social media aspect implies a specialist aspect beyond just entry level marketing. Cj Hi Cassie,

Do you think "public relations specialist" is a better role for me to use as it says on the website this position requires a BA.

My full title is: marketing coordinator and social media planner, do you think I should just switch coordinator for specialist? Also, I ended up putting my role as "media and communication workers, all others". The level one wage is $11.02 so it's definitely below my wage. Thanks again, Cassie Hi CJ,

Good Luck, Cj Hi Vicky,

Read here; http://e3visa.info/2009/03/02/extending-renewing-or-changing-employers-on-your-e3-visa/. You will be fine as many people go home and do new E3 visa and are up to 3rd and nearly 4th renewals. Cj Hi Gayle,
