Australian citizens who want to come to the United States should know about the E-3 visa, which is issued to them if they want to enter the country to work in a speciality occupation. In this category, speciality occupation is the one in which theoretical and practical specialized knowledge is required.
A bachelor’s or higher degree in the specific speciality is also needed. However, here are some things that you should know about this visa –

- Visa holders can work in America without restrictions.

- You need to make an appointment for the interview. And, take your documents with you.
- You need documents like an approved Labor Condition Application (LCA) obtained by your American employer from the Department of Labor, a copy of any certificates, transcripts for the course of study along with the proof of academic or other qualifying credentials.
