I'll be in Canada next month on a working holiday permit and would like to travel to and from the US. I'm an Australian citizen and am considering applying for a B1/B2 visa at the US consulate in Toronto to achieve this.
I haven't lived in Australia for almost a year and I am concerned that I might be denied the visa for this reason. I still have family/friends/bank accounts/insurance there but it's possible I won't return to Australia until the end of my work permit in Canada (2 years).
Will this work against me when proving "strong ties" to Australia? I've also visited the US twice in 2013 (one 90 day, and one week long stay). I'm currently in Ireland and have citizenship here too.
My ultimate aim is to secure a job in Canada, but pursue work in the US and get an E3 visa to move to the US. I would like the B visa to attend job interviews. I have no intention of overstaying or working illegally.
Any help/past experiences would be helpful.
