Bill > HR8392

This bill aims to add Ireland to the E3 nonimmigrant visa program. The E3 visa is a temporary work visa for Australian nationals, and this bill would allow Irish nationals to also apply for this visa on a reciprocal basis as determined by the Secretary of State. The bill also requires employers of Irish nationals under the E3 visa to participate in the E-Verify program, which is an electronic system for verifying the employment eligibility of employees. Additionally, the bill sets a numerical cap of 10,500 for E3 visas for Australian nationals and a separate cap for Irish nationals, which would be the difference between 10,500 and the number of visas approved for Australian nationals in the prior fiscal year.
