Bill > HR8406

This bill, known as the Advancing Opportunity for Hibernians Act (AOH Act), proposes to add Ireland to the E-3 nonimmigrant visa program. The E-3 visa is a temporary work visa currently available only to nationals of Australia. The bill would allow Irish nationals to apply for the E-3 visa, subject to an annual numerical limit. The bill also requires employers sponsoring Irish nationals for the E-3 visa to participate in the E-Verify program, which is an electronic system to verify the employment eligibility of their employees.
