H1B visa For Australian Citizen

[h1_221g]

Hi Friends,

Can you please suggest me is it a very good option for an Australain Citizen to Opt for H1B visa rather E3 visa.

My Present situation:

Already was in US for 4 years on H1B on indian citizenship and then moved back to Australia .

Is it a good option to choose H1B rather than E3 visa

what are the possible obstacles/questions the cosular officers may pose in the interview if i choose to go back on H1B instead of E3?

Appreciate your responses and advices.

Thanks and Regards.

Since E3 is virtually never oversubscribed and since the spouse can work and the E3 status can be extended in 2 yearly increments indefinitely it would seem to be a no-brainer.

No dual intent allowed for E-3, so if you are hoping to apply for a green card, that H1B may make more sense.

Australia is a wonderful country and if you want to exchange Nationalities please feel free. Just kidding.

Hi Friends ,

Thankyou very much for your response.

I am looking for an answer for the question if the consular officer puts to me:

Question:If I choose to go to US on H1B visa will the officer asks me why I did not opt for E3 visa .

Since E3 is not dual intent and H1B is for dual intent will she/he doubt on my credibility to return back to Australia ???

if he/she (Consular officer) puts me the the question above

how to and what to answer.

Appreciate your advise.

Regards
