New Working Visa Category for Australians


Sep 2, 2005

New Visa for Australian Citizens Effective September 2, 2005 any employer wishing to hire AUSTRALIAN citizens in certain professional occupations may do so under a new non-immigration category—E-3.This visa is not subject to any H-1B restrictions or caps, and there will be 10,500 numbers available on an annual basis. The category is similar to the existing Free Trade visas already in effect for CANADA, MEXICO, CHILE and SINGAPORE. Spouses of E-3 visa holders will be permitted to apply for employment authorization for the duration of the principle’s E-3 stay in the U.S.
