Hi Peter, I'm an E3 holder. Thinking about marrying my partner who is a LPR and have a couple of questions:
- I entered on the E3 status in January but went to Canada for 2 days in February, does the 90 day rule restart from when I came back in February or when I initially entered in Jan?
- Can I continue working in my role after I apply to change my status after marriage to my LPR partner?
- Typically how long would I be unable to travel abroad while waiting for parole/adjustment of status?
Thanks so much!

Even after you marry and your spouse files I-130, you'll likely be in for a wait before you can file I-485 to adjust status. You can and should maintain your E-3 status in the meantime. Since E-3 is not dual intent, the safest option is to avoid international travel until I-485 is approved. Re-entering on approved advance parole is allowed, but not if your I-485 is suddenly denied.
- proberts 2y agoMy responses in order: 1. When did you actually decide to marry your partner (if you've even decided)? If this decision occurred after you returned from Canada, then there's no requirement to wait 90 days. 2. Yes. 3. This is changing but now it seems to be taking at least 6 months and creeping to 9 months and even longer to an advance parole.
