Where in the world should I get a new E-3 Visa and how long do I need to stay?

Featuring Matt Curtis from Lightman Law Firm (www.lightmanimmigration.com/). First off, I want to ask one of the biggest questions that we've both been getting is around the idea of like where can you go to get a visa? Post COVID, it's been not as it hasn't quite bounced back to pre-COVID but it's gotten a little bit easier in the last few months.
The new E-3S visa - why it's better than the old E-3D and what it means for work.
มุมมอง 585ปีที่แล้ว
Featuring Matt Curtis from Lightman Law Firm (www.lightmanimmigration.com/). Alright Matt one of the big ones that we've had a lot of people with a lot of questions online about is the brand-new status the E3S, so that has replaced the E3 or it has upgraded the E3D, dependent status for E3 spouses and kids. Can you give us again a 30,000-foot view of what is this new status and what does it mean?
Concurrent E-3 visas - how exactly can you have two E3s at one time and why.
มุมมอง 515ปีที่แล้ว
Featuring Matt Curtis from Lightman Law Firm (www.lightmanimmigration.com/). Already another one of the questions Matt around multiple E3 visas. So, I understand broadly that you can have more than one active concurrent E3 visa. A is that true and B like what is the process for if you want to do more than one visa at a time?

Your TH-cam channel videos are not videos tags, title tags, Video SEO and video description SEO tag, and strong hashtags SEO optimized.

      I certainly didn't have this experience! I just came home from a frustrating exchange at my local deferred inspection site (BWI airport) where they told me I didn't know what I was talking about. I did bring printouts of the announcements on the USCIS website. They took copies of my E3D and my husband's E3, as well as my marriage certificate, and said they would get back to me in 5-7 business days. The staff member said he couldn't imagine they would change the I-94 though. Hope he's wrong...

    Hey man thanks for the video, but i'm still confused about tax treaty. You explain what it is, but not how it actually works, maybe using a real world example would've helped. For example as another Australian here, if i've invested in the US stock market and i sell, while there's apparently a "tax treaty" between US and Australia of a flat 15% - does that mean my US broker takes the flat 15% tax out of what i receive, then that 15% is reduced when i go to pay standard tax rates in Australia, or i pay 15% in both countries, or some other form of reduced rate on Australian side, or something else entirely?
