Hi CJ,
Thanks for your reply. Thought it might be the case. Maybe just a holiday to the US could be on the cards then. Cheers Russell

Hi Russell,
Truck Driver would not qualify under the E3 visa as it would not be deemed a Specialty Occupation and you can read more about that here; http://e3visa.info/2009/05/22/e3-visa-the-bachelors-degree-specialty-occupation-conditions/. Unfortunately as well there is no real US visa that would cover that occupation.
Also you should note that the US does not recognize domestic partnerships for spousal visas, the couple has to be married.

Hi Sonja,
Yes the E3 visa can be for part time jobs but you may need to demonstrate in an interview with the US consulate, how you plan to support yourself with only a part time income. Also note, the E3 visa is only for Australian citizens.
Good Luck,
CJ

Hi,

I’m wondering if you can have just one part-time job to qualify for the e-3? is there a certain amount of hours you need to have? I’m currently doing my OPT after being an F-1 student and an employer wants to have me stay on but only part-time. I’ve been unable to find an answer to this question after an extensive search online!
Thanks,
Sonja

Hi Ashish,
Thanks for the complement and good luck to achieving your dream.
I am not a fan of H1Base and you can read my thought on it here http://e3visa.info/2009/01/16/h1basein-my-opinion/ as well as the comments at the bottom to get a true indication of the people involved with that site. I have never heard of h1visajobs.com but if they are asking you to pay money it is just as bad. My main problem with these type of sites is that they charge you for things that are freely available like the companies that hire H1B visa candidates last year – http://e3visa.info/2009/02/26/the-top-100-companies-that-sponsored-us-visas/. They say they will submit your resume to hiring managers but given the complex nature of hiring any candidate for positions, I really doubt any spam emails they are sending to hiring managers does anything.
If you don’t take my word for it or the comments in our posts, type “H1Base scam” or “H1Base reviews” in a search engine or read forums like the British Expat forums and read other opinions. There is plenty of resources here and elsewhere you can read to search for an employer. Try these posts to get up to speed.
1. Current H1B visa status – http://e3visa.info/2009/10/16/h1b-visa-fy2010-status-update-october-2009/
2. Where to find a job – http://e3visa.info/2009/01/19/which-are-the-best-places-to-find-a-job/
3. What is the H1B visa – http://e3visa.info/2009/03/10/what-is-the-h-1b-visa-how-do-i-get-one-now/
Good Luck,
