Hi,

My husband is USC and I'm Filipina, and we were married in Perth on 2005. We're currently living together in Perth on his temporary visa. He's been living here since 2001 (student visa, then 457). We are now planning on moving back to the US as he just got a job offer commencing in September (the latest).

We are hoping to leave for the US together, and wonder if any of you guys have any good advice on our situation.

We had been looking at doing DCF in Sydney, but we're not sure if we are eligible. But we have quite a few concerns;
1. He is not a permanent resident of Australia.
2. No US tax returns since 2000.
3. His new job will be in Missouri, (but his domicile is in North Carolina), and he won't be in the payroll until September.
4. We may need someone else to be the financial sponsor.

I have a multiple entry B1/B2 visa that's valid until 2017 (I'm assuming that "M" under "Entries" on the visa means multiple entry). Can I enter the US using this visa while waiting for the DCF or whatever visa application is pending in Australia? I'm also an academic, and wouldn't want to forfeit my career by overstaying, is there a way to provide this as proof that I won't overstay? Sigh! Everything sounds so complicated.

We thought of applying for K3, but it seems like it will be way beyond SEptember before it's approved. And being a dependent on his 457 visa, if he leaves Australia, that means I won't have a means to stay in Australia anymore (unless my current employer sponsors me).

Really need some experienced advice and opinions.

Thanks in advance!
