From your first question to visa approval, we simplify every step of your U.S. immigration process with expert guidance, whether you’re an individual or a growing company.
The E-3 visa is a special U.S. work visa available only to Australian citizens. It is similar to the H-1B in that it is for “specialty occupations” requiring theoretical or technical expertise (again, generally jobs needing at least a bachelor’s degree). Fields like IT, engineering, healthcare, and finance often qualify. The E-3 visa has some advantages: it costs less to file, is issued in two-year increments (renewable indefinitely), and is not subject to a lottery. To get an E-3 visa, you need a job offer in the U.S. and must meet the qualifications for that specialty occupation (usually a relevant degree or equivalent experience). We support Australian professionals and their employers by preparing the E-3 petition and paperwork, making the process as seamless as possible.

The E-3 visa is exclusively for Australian citizens. It is designed for professionals seeking to work in the U.S. in a "specialty occupation," which typically requires at least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent in experience.
The E-3 visa offers several key advantages: it has lower filing fees, is not subject to the annual H-1B lottery, and is granted in two-year increments that can be renewed indefinitely, providing more long-term certainty.
A specialty occupation is a position that requires the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge. This generally means the job must require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Common examples include roles in IT, engineering, healthcare, finance, and academia.
Yes, it is possible to qualify through equivalent experience. The U.S. government may accept a combination of education, training, and progressively responsible work experience in the specialty field as equivalent to a university degree. A professional evaluation is often required to substantiate this.
We manage the preparation and filing of the necessary E-3 petition and supporting documentation on behalf of the Australian professional and their U.S. employer. Our goal is to ensure all requirements are meticulously met, streamlining the process and minimizing complications.
