U.S offers Australians working visas
Australians will be able to work and live more easily in the United States after major changes to immigration law approved by the US Congress today. The US Government has voted to create a new visa called the E3 specifically to allow Australians to live and work in America for up to two years. Once they win a visa, people will be able to renew them indefinitely. A total of 10,500 of the new visas will be available to people with bachelor degrees and relevant work experience. The new legislation represents a huge increase in work opportunities in the US because currently Australians have to compete on a global basis for just 65,000 of the so-called H1B work visas. Another reason the change is highly significant is that the spouses of these new E3 visa holders will also have work rights in the US, something not currently available.
