Hi Meg,
There is no wrong or right answer with mentioning your visa on your resume, just use whatever works best for you. If your husband is a green card holder then you are eligible for a green card as well as his spouse. You just have to go through the process.

I have not put anything about Visa’s on my resume as i think it scares them off before they have even met you!

I think it’s better to mention it after they have shown an interest in you, or wait till they ask about your status. that’s what I am doing currently- hope it works!

Hi CJ,

I wanted to ask your thoughts on this situation.

I am currently on a J-1 Visa (work and travel, does not require me to return for 2 yrs) but this expires on December 1. My company has already filed and processed my E3 visa for me and this will become active when I next go overseas and attend a visa stamping appointment. Now, I have had a casual job offer which will be a part-time position that will not encroach on my full-time position with the company who has sponsored my E3 (the part-time job will be on weekend and after hours). Both roles are relevant to my academic background and expertise.

Have you ever heard of instances where someone has had two employers but one is full-time and the other is part-time? I have heard instances of petitions for two part-time employers but I am not sure if the former is possible (one full-time, another part-time).

Can you offer any advice?

Cheers,
CI

Hi Dave,
Teaching is certainly not prohibited on the E3 visa. You are able to study as well while you are on the E3 visa, however if the position itself required a masters degree, then you may not be eligible as generally any qualifications that need to be done to your job in the US have to be done soon after you arrive. As a masters degree part time will obviously take a while, this may not be sufficient for the US consular officer adjudicating your case.
Good Luck,
CJ

Hi Danielle,
Thanks for the kind words.
10 years of experience in the field in question plus the diploma could be enough to satisfy the Bachelors Degree requirement and you can find more information here; http://e3visa.info/2009/05/22/e3-visa-the-bachelors-degree-specialty-occupation-conditions/. However to best enhance your chances it would be prudent to have his experience and diploma assessed by a degree equivalency evaluation organization in the US so you can bring further proof to any US consulate interview.
Good Luck,
CJ

Hi Al,
The biggest challenge for anyone securing a position is convincing them to trust and hire you. That is most easily accomplished if they can see you face to face and assess you. So yest the best way is to be in the US and this link has plenty of tips on all aspects of the process; http://e3visa.info/2009/08/16/e3-visa-faqs-myths/.
Good Luck,

I currently have an E3 Visa that expires in August. Can I go to Canada to apply for a new E3 since it is cheaper than extending my current one? Thanks for your help, greatly appreciated.
