jaysanala Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hi , I’m indian born Australian citizen working in USA on E3 visa. I have been working in USA for last 7 years on E3 which is not a dual intent visa which will not allow me to apply for GC and lately I came across about making some changes to the E3 along with H4. Below are some of the changes I noticed H-1B1 and principal E-3 nonimmigrants are allowed to work without having to separately apply to DHS for employment authorization. Pending extension application for H-1B1 or principal E-3 nonimmigrant, employment will be automatically extended for 240 days beyond the initial admission period (just like H-1B nonimmigrants). The same will apply to CW-1 nonimmigrants. The filing procedure for H-1B1 and E-3 petition or extension petition will be same with other employment-based nonimmigrant visas. Currently, there are special procedures in place for H-1B1 and E-3 as opposed to, for instance, H-1B. This change will probably add the benefits of dual intent which has been available for H-1B and L-1 nonimmigrants. does anyone know what these means especially #1 and # 4 bullet points. any suggestions and answers are really appreciable, Thanks Link to comment
