E3 Visa Approved for Australian Software Engineer in Perth

We recently had an E3 visa success in Perth, Australia for a change of employer. The E3 visa was approved in Perth for Australian software engineer for 2 years – the maximum period allowed.

In this case the Australian software engineer wanted to transfer the E3 visa to work remotely for a new employer in a different state. A new E3 visa via consulate can be obtained quickly for change of employers. To learn more about transfers, visit E3 Visa Transfer: Change of Employer.

The E3 nonimmigrant visa is specifically designed for Australian citizens working in “specialty occupations” within the United States. This visa offers a pathway to work in the US with initial validity up to two years and potential for indefinite renewals.

E3 Visa Perth Approval Highlights:

  • Fast Processing: This case demonstrates an E3 visa approval is possible within just 3 weeks total, allowing fast employment with a new US company.
  • Labor Condition Application (LCA) Speed: The US Department of Labor (DOL) certified the required LCA in 5 business days, avoiding delays.
  • Perth Consulate: The US Consulate in Perth granted the E3 visa within 7 days of application.
  • Two-Year E3 Visa Validity: The Australian software engineer received the maximum 2-year E3 visa, allowing for extended employment in the US.
  • E3 Visa Change of Employer Simplified: Unlike the H1B visa, the E3 visa transfer does not require prior USCIS approval (Form I-129) when applying at a US consulate abroad, significantly reducing processing time.
  • USCIS Change of Employer Option: For those preferring not to travel, a USCIS change of employer application is available for E3, with 15-day premium processing for expedited results.

E3 Visa Requirements (Perth Consulate):

The successful applicant presented the following essential documents:

  • Valid Australian Passport
  • I-94 Arrival/Departure Record (if applicable)
  • Prior E-3 Visa (if applicable)
  • Formal Employment Offer Letter from the new US employer
  • Approved Labor Condition Application (LCA)
