Thanks Peter. With an American wife, and an Australian Passport, what would you recommend as the best path to move to the US?

An E-3 requires a job offer but with a job offer, the E-3 is much faster, easier, and cheaper than a marriage-based green card application. After you are here, if you decide that you'd like to make your permanent home here, you can apply for a green card even if you are in E-3 status. That just shouldn't be your intent now when applying for an E-3 visa.

Hi Peter,

I am in a similar position, however am looking to do my masters in the US first.

Would the path be: F-1 during masters, get a job offer, apply for E-3, then apply for GC?

Also, roughly how long after being granted E-3 would it take to get the GC?

Cheers!
