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

You'll need the approved LCA by Dept of Labor from the new company, a letter from the company detailing the company description and your job duties and degree requirement, and documents proving that...

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

When you enter under E-3, the questions you're most likely gonna be asked are "What company do you work for?", "What will your job be?", and "What do your job duties entail?" Since E-3 can be renewed...

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

When you go for a visa interview, they don't necessarily ask for proof of license (I never got asked in my past two E-3's). If they do, it's probably up to the individual consular officer to...

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

My feeling is that a new LCA will be needed, because the salary will presumably change as well.

If you job requires a J.D. degree then you meet the requirement for E-3.

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

When I applied for my E-3 renewal last time, I couldn't type in the LCA approval number correctly (For some weird reason, it won't take the letter "I", so I just typed the number "1" instead), but...

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

Yea, I also believe you can't submit the DS160 form without the LCA approval number. It's good to keep that in mind when you do your next visa renewal. Try to get the LCA approved well ahead of time.

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

Similar/identical questions have been raised many many many many times before. Should be fine but do at your own risk. If visa got denied, yes it'll adversely affect future visa applications.

My experience has been that for E-3 they're not too strict about providing evidence of non-immigrant intent, compared to say, people applying for tourist visas (B1, B2). You do have to indicate that...
