E-3 Sufferer
Registered Users (C)
Hi,
I would like to inform everybody about E-3 visa which is a 2 years valid visa (technically its only 1.4 years visa because you need 6 months to renew it).Its an extreme disadvantage that extension of this visa and change of employer is extremely hard. Unlike all other non immigrant visa change of employer on E-3 visa may take upto 6 months. There is no portability like H1B where the employee can start working for the new employer straight away.
There is no premium processing available and there is no way to immediately renew or extend this visa until the holder exit USA and then goto a US consulate overseas.Going to consulate overseas means living cost,flights, higher risk of visa rejection etc. etc.
On E-3 visa the person have 10 days to leave USA (as the job ends) now within 10 days USCIS cannot decide/finalize employer change/renew case for E-3 then what E-3 visa holder must do?
Please comment and advise?
Thanks
