Thank You Australia!
Australia and its people have given me exposure and courage to move further up into my career.During my last 5 years in Australia I enjoyed great beaches, sunshine, heat, high rising cost of living,expensive rentals etc. but everything was fun.I have been offered better career oppurtunities due to E-3 Visa which is only available for Australian Citizens.I am permenantly moving to USA to explore bigger cities,variable tax rates,big free ways, Hollywood,Disney Land, Times Square etc. and specially greater career heights.Thank you very much Australia!

Yes but at least in America you are more free, free to be an adult. I can even own guns!! even those toy airsoft ones that are banned here in Australia just in case an adult has too much fun. You can't even own a replica one here.

Yes, if you're into guns it's probably a good place to be.

You need to have bachelor's degree with at least 5 years job experience or a higher degree to file green card under EB-2 category.If you are in EB1 category green card procedure takes 6-8 months.In EB-2 category green card procedure take 1 year (depending upon you place of birth).Australian 457visa is comparable to E-3 or H1B visa.
