Date: January 16th, 2026 5:46 PM Author: yellow giraffe It’s been coming for 6 months so it’s not a surprise, but still feels kind of weird
Applying for new jobs but not having a whole lot of luck so far. The immediate focus is on figuring out our visa situation so we don’t have to leave the country in 45 days |

On the plus side, I got paid out over a years salary, so financially it’s a nice little windfall |

Date: January 16th, 2026 6:14 PM Author: yellow giraffe This is true to an extent. The problem I face is that there is a shortage of advertised roles at my prior compensation ($350k base + bonus etc). I could take a role that pays a lot less, but at that point I might as well return to Australia and apply for jobs at my level (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5822951&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310744#49594951) |

Date: January 16th, 2026 6:07 PM Author: yellow giraffe Yes E3
Wife was working as a dependent so she’s currently petitioning her employer to sponsor her. It’s looking promising so high likelihood we will stay, but it’s still annoying. |

Date: January 16th, 2026 6:12 PM Author: yellow giraffe I would meet the criteria I guess, but you still need a job offer. Needing sponsorship is a huge red flag to all employers right now based on the responses I’ve gotten, so the focus is on my wife getting her E3 and I’ll just work on that so I have blanket work authorization (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5822951&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310744#49594945) |
