Australians may apply under the Australian – United
States Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA) to live and work in the
United States. E-3 visas are exclusively for Australians,
and number 10,500 including spouses and children. Spouses
of E-3s may work as well. Verification that the applicant’s
salary meets or will meet a standard of parity with equivalent
American workers is necessary. A Labor Condition Application
must indicate and be approved by the Department of Labor that
working conditions and wages will be equal with U.S. workers.
This visa is for those Australians who qualify under specialty
occupations, namely, who have worked in a field requiring
a theoretical and practical application in a professional
field and at least have a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent.
