Bill > S3869

This bill aims to add Ireland to the E-3 nonimmigrant visa program. The key provisions are: 1. It amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to include Irish nationals, on a basis of reciprocity as determined by the Secretary of State, as eligible for the E-3 nonimmigrant visa program, which currently only applies to Australian nationals. 2. It requires employers hiring Irish nationals under the E-3 visa to be participants in good standing in the E-Verify program, which is a federal employment eligibility verification system. 3. It sets a separate annual numerical limit of up to 10,500 for E-3 visas for Irish nationals, with any unused visas from the previous fiscal year rolling over to the next year for Irish applicants.
