They worked on my GC when I was on E-3. Never mentioned the H-1B route. Overall, pretty satisfied with their lawyers and staff.

If you are a sole proprietor, you don't need to worry about sales tax. I suggest you get yourself an accountant, it will be worth it in the long run.

Are you sure you understand what "dual intent" is? It is not about your ties to your home country.

Yes, you can buy real property on the E-3 visa. I am pretty sure you can buy it on a tourist visa...

Hi all,

Re: E-3 Visa for Australians Thread- It's all in here

You should check two things, one whether they process E-3s at all as not all consulates do. Secondly, check that the area is safe as I believe the border would not be the a family-friendly place. I...

Re: E-3 Visa for Australians Thread- It's all in here

I reckon you should be fine with a one-way ticket. I don't think immigration is that interested in what tickets you've got. Also, you are allowed to look for work while on VWP so don't lie if you are...
