Adding Ireland to the E-3 Specialty Worker Visa Program.
This bill extends the E-3 nonimmigrant visa program, previously exclusive to Australians, to include Irish nationals. This change creates a new, dedicated pathway for skilled Irish workers to take specialty occupation jobs in the United States. US employers hiring Irish workers under this program must comply with mandatory E-Verify requirements.
Key points
Irish citizens gain access to the E-3 specialty occupation visa, making it easier for them to work legally in the US.
The annual cap of 10,500 E-3 visas will now be shared between Australian and Irish nationals.
US companies hiring Irish E-3 workers must use the government's E-Verify system to confirm employment eligibility.
