Yeah nah... Just so you know, the E3D gives the right to live in the US, but doesn't automatically grant the right to work. Once you have your Social Security Number, etc, you can then apply for an Employment Autorization Document (EAD). That process they say can take 90 days, but up to 120 is not uncommon. And you need to reapply for the EAD every time you get a new visa.
So, when the primary E3 holder comes up on their 2 years and reapplies, the new E3D should be granted at the same time. There is no reduction in processing time for a renewal... So explaining to the CP why you'll need 3-4 months off every 2 years might be a stretch.
