Bill overview
This bill amends U.S. immigration law to allow Irish citizens to apply for an E-3 nonimmigrant visa, which is currently limited to Australian citizens for specialized employment. The bill establishes a yearly quota for Irish E-3 visa applicants, based on the number of approved Australian applications from the previous year, with a maximum of 10,500 applications annually. Employers sponsoring Irish E-3 visa holders must participate in the E-Verify program. The changes aim to increase the availability of work visas for qualified Irish professionals seeking employment in the United States.
