I got a mortgage on H1-B so I don't think non-permanency is necessarily a problem. I also know several people who have gone from E3 to green card: http://www.limaechoecho.com/2012/11/e-3-visa-to-green-card.h...

E-3 to green card is OK if you put in your application from outside the US. H-1B is dual-intent (i.e. not non-permanent) & better known to banks (3k vs. 120k granted per year).

"RFE process ("request for evidence" – when USCIS asks you to provide more information) always occurs" this is not true. I got my O-1 visa without any RFE.

Thanks for correction, I should say "occurs very often"
