Hi all,
I'm an E3 visa holder living in the US. I got my E3 while living here, and have not yet left the country to get the 'visa stamp'. I know that the next time I leave I will need to get this. I need to go back home to visit due to an illness in the family, however I'm worried that I will not be able to get back in because I am now in the process to get my GC. Given that the E3 is supposed to be a 'temporary' visa, I'm afraid that during my 'visa stamp' interview, they will decide that I am not living up to the 'temporary' part of the visa.
Has anyone else had this situation come up? Should I just wait until my Advanced Parole is approved and not travel on the E3?
Any help/advice is appreciated.

PS. I've lived in the US for 11 years, had an F1, OPT, 2 x H1-B and now E3.
