Re: Current employment on DS-160 for J1

No, they're not. They're your future employer.

Re: E2 Treaty Investor visa / buying biz / travelling US - UK

Re: Current employment on DS-160 for J1

You can't be "technically" unemployed in the same manner that you can't be "technically" pregnant. Either you are or you aren't. If you are unemployed... say so.

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

If it was full-time study, you bet it counts! Do you have a piece of paper that says you have an eMBA? The grunt examining your paperwork won't likely know the difference... and even if he does, you...

Re: query on uk national marrying us citizen

It is absolutely legal for you to visit the US on the VWP, marry your USC fiancée, and return to the UK to await processing of your immigrant visa. Indeed, that is the preferred method (and the...

The "N/A" discussion was for the DS-230 - which specifically allows you to write N/A. Perhaps you missed that bit!

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

Insofar as you would not be eligible for an L-1 visa with the new company, they are correct.

Re: Banned from the US for 5 years, now expired

If, by "waiver program" you are referring to the Visa Waiver Program, you are no longer eligible to use the VWP. You must have a visa to visit the US.

There's no such thing as "technically". You are eligible to apply for citizenship 5 years (less 90 days) from the "resident since" date on your green card. If you are now past that 5 year date, do...

The child will be a US citizen by virtue of being born in the US - and is immediately eligible for a US passport. The child will also be a UK citizen if you are a UK citizen "other than by descent"....
