E Visas
(E1, E2 Visas - Treaty Traders and
Treaty Investors. E3 Visa for Australians)
The E visa
category was established to give effect to treaties between those
foreign countries and the United States that provide for reciprocal benefits
to nationals of each country who conduct trade between the two countries
(E1 Treaty Trader visa) or who invest in the other country (E2
Treaty Investor visa).
The LL.M. Law Group

E3 Visa is
a new category of E treaty visa.
E3 Visa
allows for the admission into the
United States of America of an alien who is a national of the Commonwealth
of Australia, and who is entering to perform services in a "specialty
occupation."
This visa category was
created specifically for 10,500
Australian business people and professionals seeking to live and work
temporarily in the United States. The term "specialty occupation" means an
occupation that requires theoretical and practical application of a body of
highly specialized knowledge, and attainment of a bachelor's or higher
degree in the specific specialty (or its equivalent) as a minimum for entry
into the occupation in the United States. The definition is the same as the
Immigration and Nationality Act definition of an H1B “specialty
occupation.”
The
LL.M. Law Group can help obtain an E3 visa to the following applicants from
the Commonwealth of Australia:
-
Nationals of the
Commonwealth of Australia
traveling to the United States
to perform services in a "specialty occupation." Examples
include scientists, engineers, research analysts, management consultants,
accountants, and other professionals with a Bachelor's degree or
equivalent
-
Australian business
people and professionals seeking to live and work temporarily in the
United States. Examples include
executives, managers and specialists operating in
the United States

substantial trade
