I hope it works out for you.
Bafanguy,
Yes, I know the E3 visa itself is for the Australian citizens. I mean the Australian guys must have done the conversion process to fly in the USA, If I find the Australian guys here, I can both confirm the companies and procedure for the conversion from the non-FAA ATPL to FAA ATP.
