E-3 Visa filing after i140 Approval

[sahilshah]

Hi,

I am an Indian born, Australian Naturalized citizen, living in Australia.

I'll give details in timeline for easy reading.

2005 - Landed in US on H1B
2010 - Applied GC PERM
2010 - i140 approved. Currently i140 is in approved status. Priority date not current yet.
2011 - Migrated to Australia
2016 Feb: - Became Australian Citizen

Now, 2 months after receiving Aus citizenship, I have got an offer from Deloitte USA.

Deloitte is planning to get my E-3 visa processed and for the time being, my ONLY concern is to get my E-3 visa approved (not too much concerned abt GC).

My 2 questions are:

1. Would my 6 year old Green Card application be taken as intent to migrate - by the US Consulate or at PoEntry and result in denial of E-3 visa? Should I even apply for E-3?

2. Given that my Aus citizenship is only 2 month old, would that cause an issue in getting the E3 Visa. What are the challenges I should be prepared for, if I apply for E3 visa.?


Thanks,
Sahil

Hi Sahil,

I noticed you have posted few wonderful questions regarding moving to USA on E3 Visa with approved I140. Surprisingly I dont see any answers to this post.
I see you posted this question last year. I'm curious to learn from your experience.

1. Did you got your E3 approved with approved I140?
2. Did you gone thru E3 renewal later and found it easy?

I'm happy and curious to learn from your E3 experience.

My situation is also exactly same as yours.

Sorry for too many questions

Thanks
