I want to know if AA will actually take someone through the flow who has an E-3 visa and their number has come up to flow to mainline. I doubt they will. Not a green card, and getting a green card isn't as easy as "starting the process." There is a lottery every year that requires a bit of luck
What? lol. There's a lottery every year for Green Cards. Multiple E-3 visa holding Aussie Pilots have gotten their green card through the lottery, it's not easy but it's 100% doable and legal. The E-3 doesn't allow direct pathway to green card, but it doesn't forbid it either.
Exactly. Immigration via Green Card is not incumbent on having a certain work visa of various types (although having some work visa, E-3, H1B, etc helps).
