What is the E-3 visa?
The E-3 visa is a type of work visa for citizens of Australia to work in the United States. It was created through a special agreement between the United States and Australia in 2005. This type of visa is specifically for individuals with certain special skills and experience in the professional field. In Colorado, the E-3 visa allows individuals with a qualifying job offer from an American employer to enter the United States to work in a specialty occupation for up to two years. To apply for the E-3 visa, you must first obtain an approved Labor Condition Application (LCA) from the Department of Labor, stating that you’ll be offered a salary that meets or exceeds the prevailing wage rate for the job in the area you will work. In addition to the LCA, you must also provide evidence of your academic qualifications, such as diplomas or transcripts from an accredited school. You must also show evidence of your work experience in the form of letters from former employers, or other documents that show at least three years of related work experience. Once approved, the E-3 visa allows you to work in the United States for up to two years. During this period, you may not change employers or job duties without obtaining a new visa. However, if you want to stay in the United States longer, you can apply for extensions.

Esta visa es un programa de trabajo destinado a profesionales calificados y es muy similar al H-1B Visa de trabajo temporal. Los profesionales australianos interesados en trabajar en los Estados Unidos deben cumplir ciertos requisitos específicos y solicitar un E-3 Visa. Los solicitantes deben tener un título profesional con una educación equivalente a un título de licenciatura o superior de una universidad estadounidense acreditada. Esta visa es una alternativa aceptable al H-1B para las empresas con ciudadanos australianos y permite que los trabajadores australianos permanezcan en los Estados Unidos por un período de hasta dos años. Si el trabajo supera los dos años, es necesario una extensión. Los empleadores estadounidenses también deben obtener un número de identificación tributaria del trabajador antes de presentar la solicitud. Además, el empleador tendrá que pagar las tarifas de solicitud y los aranceles correspondientes. Los trabajadores con un E-3 Visa tienen permiso de trabajo para un empleador específico y no podrán trabajar para ningún otro empleador. A su vez, los familiares de los titulares del E-3 Visa tendrán derecho a una visa de acompañante durante el tiempo en que la visa de trabajo esté vigente.
