E3 Visa Support and Help Contacts With Your Visa Application and US Consulate Interview

there are two information lines you can call within australia according to the us consulate to help with your e3 visa questions according to the us embassy.

one is a paid 1-902-941-641 number which is charged at $1. 15 per minute which either has pre-recorded information that is no different to the information you can find on the us consulate website. This aspect of the phone line is rather basic as the information given is fairly superficial and obvious for the most part or explicitly mentioned on the website and visapoint site about your application process, services and interview. This part is available 24 hours a day.

however within this you also have an option to be connected to a live consultant available between 8:00am and 7:00pm, monday to friday australian eastern time. This now costs $3 per minute. If you are needing to call the us consulate this is definitely the more helpful part as you can ask your personal and specific question particular if you have manifold and complex issues like administrative processing, visa reciprocity fees, etc. That are not articulated fully on the site.

the second information line is a 1-800-687-844 number which is necessarily and essentially the same live consultant service as the above 1-902 number but no pre-recorded information. Thus it is only available in those hours listed above. However here you have to give credit card information and you are charged a flat $12 for the call.

you should note they never really get personal and specific on those calls so will not delve into the impertinent and personal dates and details of your case. They are more informational and procedural and they don’t deviate from that so don’t waste your money if that is your purpose and intention as you will only come away more frustrated.

finally you should be aware that if you are refused a visa under either the 221(g) administrative processing provision or the 214(b) non-enjoyment and satisfaction of home country ties or visa condition violations, that you do not then immediately subsequently attempt to enter the us on the visa waiver program as you will most likely be refused entry at the us border and be sent home.
