    E3 Visa and Green Card - Indian born Australian Citizen

    Hi, The safest bet would have you both applying for a green card separately via your employer if possible. I would assume your wife has to be on an E3 visa for it to be possible as I would doubt anyone has tried to do it from the partner visa. Then if one of you advances at a faster rate, the...
