As you know, the E-3 visa is a U.S. work visa dedicated to Australian citizens. In 2005, the U.S. and Australia entered the Australia – US Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA). Due to that, they created a specialty visa that only highly qualified Australian citizens can obtain. Each year, only 10,500 E-3 visas are given to Australians. This visa is reserved for Specialty Occupation Professionals from Australia.
