US Immigration from Australia

Hello,

I am in the process of completing P3 instructions for k1 visa (sydney). Instructions say for fianc to create profile on UStraveldocs.com. We have been trying to create a new profile for Nonimmigrant visa.

The first half a dozen or so times we have filled out and submitted create new profile form, error comes up as errors: your request cannot be processed at this time. The site administrator has been alerted. User could not be created. Please ensure first name and last name are entered as they are in your passport. (Which they are entered correctly matching his passport.)

I then took someone else s advice on a different VJ thread to try log in for existing user and click forget password to which they sent a temporary password. We try the temp password and it says error: unable to validate captcha. Please try again. this happens for about a dozen times.

We then go back to new user-create new profile. Again, error: unable to validate captcha. Please try again. Well, about 30 tries later, still the same error message. I don t think we are dumb enough to not know how to read and enter 5 captcha letters at a time. Anyone else have this problem? Not sure what to do. There is no tech support number. We have both tried on different devices (smart phone, tablet, computers) to which nothing being resolved. This has been the course over 2 days.

Hi All

We're after some advice - when we filed AOS in 2019 (to meet the expiration of I-94) my spouse just started a new job. We met overseas in 2018 when he was on a holiday working visa. Needless to say the tax returns (2018) did not show that he made above the recommended poverty guideline. He currently makes above that however when we had to file the documents he only had his employment offer letter without pay stubs. Therefore we're expecting an RFE based on the current situation - almost a definite I would think.

Hence our question is whether replying with most recent pay stubs with cover letter of the expected income for 2020 moving forward (to show above poverty) and a cover letter to further explain the situation (low 2018 tax returns, etc...) would suffice? Or do they only look at the previous year's tax return to make a decision? Understand that they only look at the petitioner's ability to support but I'm sure we'll be above poverty line when both of us are able to work - not sure if that would make the case any better by including that in the cover letter.

We're just staying calm at the moment and not panic when we do receive the RFE - understand that it can be other things on top of the above (missing paperwork, unfilled forms, etc...)

Thank you VJ Community!

Hey all,

So I've been interested in working in the US, potentially for an extended period of time (depending on how well I adapt and enjoy it).

For Australians, the E-3 non-immigrant visa seems to be touted as the ideal choice.

However I'm curious about going for an EB-3 instead, for the reason that it's an 'immigrant visa', and as such, opens the door to potential Green Card and Citizenship.

I heard there can be a longer wait time for the EB-3 and the hiring process might be more complicated. But apart from that do you think an EB-3 is any less likely to be achieved than an E-3?

I'm not in a particular hurry, though I wouldn't want to wait for some crazy amount of time like 10 years.

What do you all reckon? Are there significant advantages to the E-3 visa over the EB-3? And if so, what are they?

Thanks in advance.
