H.R. 1337: To add Ireland to the E3 nonimmigrant visa program.

Bill Sponsor: Rep. Richard Neal (D-MA-1)
Congress: 119
Date Introduced: Feb. 13, 2025
Last Action: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. (Feb. 13, 2025)
This bill authorizes Irish nationals to use unused Australian E-3 visas from the previous fiscal year, provided the employer is in good standing with and is using E-Verify. Australia already has 10,500 visas designated by law each year. Like the Australians, only the principal alien would count towards the cap, meaning spouses and children wouldn't count.
