E3 Work Visa for Australians

Are you an Australian citizen who would like to work in the U.S.?

The E-3 visa is available only to Australian citizens. The E-3 visa allows U.S. companies to hire Australian citizens for professional roles in specialty occupations.  A specialty occupation is one that requires, at a minimum, the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge, and; a Bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field.

Unlike most employment-based visas, the E-3 does not require that a U.S. employer must have an approved E-3 application before the foreign national employee can seek a visa. Rather, the visa applicant may apply for the E-3 status directly at the U.S. Consulate abroad. 

We recommend U.S. employers or any Australian citizen who has a job offer from a U.S. company begin the application process early, as visa wait times and application processing times can vary.  

Requirements

To qualify for an E-3 Nonimmigrant Visa, the applicant must be:

• The employee must have an offer of employment from a U.S. employer;
• The job must qualify as a "specialty occupation,"
• The employee must have the minimum requirements necessary for the specialty occupation at the time of application, which must be at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field of study, and any licenses, certifications, or other specific requirements for the position.
• The employer must agree to certain conditions, including payment of the required wage.
  
• E-3 status is allowed for up to 2 years per extension, with no maximum number of extensions.
  
• The Applicant must be a citizen of Australia.

Additional Services:

We also offer our clients supplemental visa and application services which may be required by the U.S. Government as part of an application filing, or which may improve an application’s success rate.  

For example, if you are not comfortable handling the communications with the government and filing your own application, then we can help you use an immigration lawyer to represent you as an Additional Service with additional fees. We have a network of qualified  U.S. attorneys and legal experts if you want the added peace of mind in knowing that your application is being represented by a licensed immigration attorney before the U.S. Government.

SuperVisas provides the following Additional Service for this visa: 

• Attorney Representation - In addition to our preparation of your application, you will be represented by a licensed immigration lawyer throughout the entire application process. If you chose this Additional Service, your case will be submitted by a licensed immigration attorney who will also respond to any additional requests from USCIS on your behalf. You can enjoy peace of mind knowing that an attorney is handling all communications with USCIS.
• Academic Evaluations - An academic evaluation assesses foreign academic credentials to determine their equivalency in the United States.
