E3 Visas For Australian Nationals
The E-3 visa is a U.S. visa category established in 2005, specifically for allowing Australian citizens to work and live in the United States in a specialty occupation.
For Australians, the E-3 visa is a great alternative to the H-1B visa being a generally faster and cheaper option. Each E-3 visa is typically valid for a period of 2 years and unlike with other visas, can be renewed indefinitely in 2-year increments.
The spouse and children of an E-3 visa holder may accompany the visa holder to the U.S. and may be eligible to receive work authorisation. The spouse and children of the qualifying applicant do not need to be Australian citizens.
To be eligible for an E3 visa, you must:
- Be an Australian Citizen and hold an Australian passport.
- Hold either a University Degree (or equivalent to a US Bachelor's Degree) or 12 years of relevant work experience.
- Have a job offer in the US in a specialty occupation.
To qualify as a sponsor for an E-3 visa, sponsors must meet the following criteria:
- Pay the employee on a US payroll.
- Pay the employee at or above the prevailing wage based on the specialty occupation and location of employment.
- File a Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the Department of Labor (DOL) to prove the salary is at or above the market rate.

The team at Worldwide Migration is beyond fabulous. This is my second visa application using their services. I have worked with Melissa, Jamie and Mark. They are thorough, communicative and give such personal service; in what is quite a significant decision and step in a person's or family's life.

Many will tell you that you don't need a lawyer for an E3. It's straight forward, all the documents are online etc. However, from experience, I have seen individuals rejected for missing documents, misfiling of information and overall lack of preparation. So my advice is to definitely hire a lawyer to ease your anxiety and ensure the process runs smoothly. That is where WMP comes in. They are professionals who meet tight deadlines. They are incredibly detailed orientated and you a play-by-play on what you need to do. Once you hire them, all you really need to do is show up. The best part? They're incredibly personable and check in on you to ensure everything runs smoothly. I highly recommend WMP especially Mark and Jamie.
