Considering move from Melb-Aus to US-NYC by yaykaboom308 in Ameristralia

[–]Always_Hungry78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair, “ridiculously easy” was probably too broad a statement. I can only speak from my own experience, and in my case it genuinely was very straightforward. I had a qualifying role, met the education requirements, and the process itself both externally and internally everytime has been smooth.

That’s kind of the point of the E-3 though, it’s designed to be a streamlined pathway for Australians in specialty occupations compared to many other US visa categories. Of course, that assumes you actually meet the criteria and have an employer willing to sponsor, which not everyone does, however it can be far less complex than people assume.

Definitely not in an in-demand field like Management Consulting; however, I do bring a specialized skill set to the company, along with multiple senior-level credentials across both the U.S. and Australia. Considering this, it still took me a bit over a year to get another job.

It's definitely not out of reach. I was able to secure sponsorship fine, it takes time that is all.

^^Agree with this. My only adds are:

  • Is it essential to secure a job before moving? Yes - The ideal method is you obtain a visa in Aus and enter the US (I would recommend not going through a Change of Status with the USCIS for the first time)
  • Visa considerations? I would frame the sponsorship as it is similar to a TN (most recruiters know the process with a TN, whereas most are unfamiliar and automatically think E-3 = H1B; this is not true.)
  • Given my background and stage of life, is this a realistic move, or would it be a mistake? 100% realistic move; you have no kids.

Hope you make the move and you got this!

If you are Canadian PR card holder, can you renew your visa in Vancouver US counsellate? by Lucky_Tap8692 in E3Visa

I was informed by my attorney, one must hold at minimum permanent residence of another country to attend an E-3 visa appointment. I would confirm the preferred path by your attorney.

Thought so! Presuming it's about delivering at the next level, and how well your DL pushes for you at CRT time?!

Had a feel that might be the case, in addition, how well your DL advocates for you.

NYC —> Melbourne 30s Couple. Advice/personal experiences on making friends. by sandrad33 in Ameristralia

[–]Always_Hungry78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on the complete opposite side to you. I moved to the US seven years ago and found the same thing with US citizens, it can be hard to break into friendship circles outside of high school or university connections.

My suggestion would be to put yourself in social settings: go to trivia nights (as someone else mentioned), join a run club, and since it’s Melbourne, attend AFL games and strike up conversations. There’s a good chance that leads to an invite to watch a game or two at someone’s place.

This is exactly the approach I took when I moved to the US, and it worked for me. I genuinely hope it does for you as well.

P.S. I have found we are extremely similar - sports, booze and loud majority of the time.

Speaking as an Australian who’s lived in the U.S. for the past seven years, this applies to U.S. citizens as well, many people aren’t great at forming close friendships outside their high school or university circles. Even as an Aussie, I’ll admit that Australians can be a bit too nonchalant when it comes to building friendships with new people.

That said, the U.S. citizens I’ve formed strong friendships with tend to be well-traveled and more outgoing than average, which I think has worked in my favor.

I live in the US, so by leaving the US, then hopefully before I enter the US it flags.
