E-3

E-3 Professional Status for Australian Citizens

E-3 Classification

The E-3 classification is designed for Australian nationals to work in the U.S. in a “specialty occupation” under the Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement. A specialty occupation is one that requires a specialized body of knowledge and the attainment of a college degree. All UC Davis Departments who wish to use this category should download the E-3 package.

E-3 workers are granted status initially for two years at a time, with an unlimited number of extensions.
