true. Before they issue a 3 year working visa. but now they change it to 1 year only. After 1 year, you can renew and usually the next visa you'll get is would still be 1 year. If you get lucky on the 2nd time you renew, you can get a 3 year visa. My colleague here, was granter a 3 year visa after his 3rd renewal. Mine was on the 2nd renewal.
