E3 visa

E3 visa

E3 visa. The E-3 visa allows people from Australia to enter the United States to work in a specialty occupation.  The specialty occupation requires theoretical and practical application of a body of knowledge in professional fields and at least the attainment of a bachelor’s degree, or its equivalent, as a minimum for entry into the occupation in the United States.

Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for an E-3 visa, you must demonstrate that you:

  • Are a national of Australia
  • Have a legitimate offer of employment in the United States
  • Possess the necessary academic or other qualifying credentials
  • Will fill a position that qualifies as a specialty occupation

Difference between E3 and other types of work visas

The job qualification for the E3 visa is similar to the H1B visa, as opposed to the TN visa for Canadian and Mexican citizens.  The category of jobs under the TN visa is more narrow than for E3 and H1B visa applicants.  The E3 job must  satisfy the criteria of a “specialty occupation,” which is outlined in the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act. The applicant has to show both work experience as well as a bachelor’s degree.  In addition, the employer cannot pay a lower wage to the E3 employee than to a U.S. employee.

Another criteria that an e3 job must meet is the salary that it offers. According to e3 visa requirements,  a qualifying position must  has to offer a salary that meets very distinct minimum standards.

Spouses and Children of E3 holders

If an Australian citizen is given an E3 visa, his or her spouse can accompany the visa holder with a derivative visa.  The spouse can apply for work authorization.  The minor child of the E3 visa holder can also attend school in the United States.
