Frequently asked questions
Short answers for orientation. US immigration rules change — confirm critical steps with a qualified US attorney and official government sources.
Are you a US immigration law firm?
No. E3 InfoTech is an Australian recruitment and advisory desk focused on US opportunities for Australian citizens. US immigration filings and legal strategy require a qualified US attorney. We give orientation and coordination support, not legal advice.
Who can use the E-3 visa category?
In broad terms, the E-3 is for Australian citizens with a qualifying job offer in a specialty occupation, among other requirements. Permanent residents of Australia who are not citizens are not eligible. Rules are set by US law and change — see our Why E-3 page and official US sources, not this FAQ alone.
What does your eligibility check actually do?
It asks a few yes/no questions so we can see whether your self-reported answers match our internal triage for the usual E-3 themes: Australian citizenship (not only permanent residency), a degree or accepted equivalent in a specialty (you judge “equivalent” in good faith; a real case is more specific), and a path to a US specialty job offer. It does not count years of experience, run LCA/wage tests, or screen health, character, or consular risk — so it cannot be “100%” of what USCIS or a consul might need. It is not a visa approval and not legal advice. If the server confirms the same answers, you may get a candidate reference for our office processes — not a government visa decision.
Where are the official US government pages to review E-3 rules?
Use the sites below to read current requirements, processing, and LCA rules — we link to them for your own research and confirmation; we do not replace them.
Confirm the rules on official US government sites
We provide general information only. Requirements change — use these as your primary reference for visa classification, employment conditions, and applications.
- U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) — E-3 specialty occupation (Australians)
- U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs — Treaty E nonimmigrants (includes E-3)
- U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration — Labor Condition Application (LCA) and foreign labor certification
Are these E3 InfoTech jobs?
No. The roles on the jobs page are with US employers. E3 InfoTech is not hiring for itself. We screen Australian candidates and coordinate between you and the employer. Employer names are not listed. Upload your resume on the Send your resume page. Send it even if nothing listed fits today.
How do I send my resume?
Use the Send your resume page: pick the role, add your details and attach a PDF or Word file under 5 MB. The file is checked on our server (type, size, no macros or scripts, readable text) before anyone opens it, then a person reads it. If you did the eligibility check, your reference is carried across. Scans and photos of a resume are not accepted; export a text PDF from Word or Google Docs.
How are you related to Mega IT Services?
E3 InfoTech operates as part of Mega IT Services, same Sydney address. Mega IT focuses on IT consulting for financial and retail clients in Australia; we focus on US career and E-3 support for Australian citizens.
E-3 vs H-1B — which is better?
It depends on nationality, role, employer, and timing. Australians often look at E-3 because it is specific to citizens of Australia and sits outside H-1B cap lottery pressure for many cases — but every matter is different. See H-1B vs E-3 for a high-level table, then talk to an attorney.
Can my spouse work in the US on an E-3?
Dependents may accompany in E-3D status; spouses may apply for US work authorisation under rules that change — confirm current USCIS and Department of State guidance before you rely on it for financial planning.
