For short trips of 30 days or less, to Canada, Mexico or adjacent islands excluding Cuba, it seems you can re-enter on your I-94: 22CFR41.112(d)...

I tried searching on this but I'm yet to find anything conclusive. I did find some interesting links though. It seems even for some attorneys it's a topic of debate.

A decent read:

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

FWIW our case was received by USCIS received on July 9 and they just sent an RFE yesterday, October 25. So that's 3.5 months so far (really, 4 months since we posted it)

I'm not sure what they're...

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

Hi

Am I likely to run into problems if I go and get a new E-3 from a consulate while I have an I-129 pending for the same employer/LCA?

The I-129 is apparently going to take 3-5 months and no...

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

Ah OK. I actually already have an approved LCA for an August 1st start date because the lawyer thought premium processing was available for E-3 I-129. So the original plan was to wait for I-129 to be...

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

Thanks for the answer! I'd actually totally prefer to do it at a consulate. The part I'm stuck on is, how do I get it approved before announcing my resignation? Or are you saying I could leave the...

I like my current employer and I want to minimize the inconvenience. There would be a very real difference if I was to give zero days notice as opposed to four weeks.

Assuming I hated my employer...

Cool thanks.

Outside of getting a SSN, bank accounts and a driver's license, filing taxes and keeping my job, is there anything else that needs to happen? :)

Hi,

I just arrived in the USA on E-3 and set up a checking and savings account at Chase.

They asked me to fill out a W-8BEN form. Is this correct or should it be a W-9, or something else?

Just in case the company lawyer forces me to do this, I'd be interested to know of a place that's likely to equate my 3-year AU...

Update: I rang Canberra's $3/minute line and they said a 3-year Australian Bachelor's degree is sufficient provided it's relevant to the position. No U.S.-equivalency needed.
