Visa for Australian Specialty Workers (E-3)

Opportunities for Australian Professionals in the United States

The E-3 Visa is exclusively available to Australian citizens seeking to work in the United States in specialty occupations. This unique program offers access to the U.S. job market, allowing qualified professionals to take on key roles across various industries.

At the Law Office of Jesus Reyes, we have the expertise to guide you through the E-3 Visa application process, ensuring that all legal requirements are met and your chances of success are maximized.

What is the E-3 Visa?

The E-3 Visa is a temporary visa specifically for Australian citizens to work in the U.S. in specialty occupations. Key features of this visa include:

  • Specialty Occupations: Jobs requiring at least a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in a specific field of expertise.
  • Employer Sponsorship: A U.S.-based employer must offer you a job related to your area of specialization.
  • Initial Validity: The visa is initially valid for up to 2 years, with the possibility of renewals.

Who Qualifies for the E-3 Visa?

To be eligible for the E-3 Visa, you must meet the following criteria:

  1. Australian Citizenship: This visa is exclusively available to Australian citizens.
  2. U.S. Job Offer: You must have a formal job offer from a U.S. employer for a position that qualifies as a specialty occupation.
  3. Professional Qualifications: You need to possess a bachelor’s degree in the relevant field or demonstrate equivalent work experience.
  4. Labor Condition Application (LCA): Your employer must obtain an LCA from the U.S. Department of Labor, ensuring the position meets wage and workplace conditions.

Benefits of the E-3 Visa

The E-3 Visa provides several advantages for Australian professionals, including:

  • Work Authorization: Allows you to legally work in specialty occupations for U.S. employers.
  • Unlimited Renewals: Can be renewed indefinitely in 2-year increments, as long as the job offer remains valid.
  • Family Accompaniment: Spouses and minor children can accompany you on derivative E-3D visas. Spouses may also apply for work authorization.
  • Streamlined Process: Compared to other work visas, the E-3 Visa features a simpler application process and an exclusive annual quota.

The Application Process

The E-3 Visa application process involves several steps. Our team will assist you with:

  1. Job Offer: Securing a formal job offer from a U.S. employer.
  2. Obtaining the LCA: Helping your employer file the Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the Department of Labor.
  3. Visa Application: Completing Form DS-160, paying visa fees, and scheduling an interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate.
  4. Supporting Documentation: Providing proof of Australian citizenship, professional qualifications, and the connection between your job and field of expertise.
