E-3 Extension

E-3 Extension

If you already hold an E-3 at Northwestern University and your department would like to extend the end date (and possibly change your job specifications) of your employment, they will be requesting an E-3 Extension (EOS) on your behalf.

Please complete the following steps:

1. Collect documents on E-3 Beneficiary Checklist. 
2. Send documents to your sponsoring department.
3. Update your information in Immigration Tracker by completing the U.S Visa - Main Questionnaire.  The International Office (IO) will send you your Immigration Tracker login information after your sponsoring department has submitted their request to the IO. 

H-1B Extensions are important in maintaining your E-3 status. Please keep the following points in mind to during the extension process:

• If you have dependents in the U.S. please remember to file the I-539 form to extend their E-3 status.
• Please inform your sponsoring department and the International Office if you are traveling outside the U.S. during the process. Please refer to Travel.
