When it comes to its immigration policies and decisions regarding granting work visas, the United States gives some of its closest allies special pathways towards living and working in America. Since the Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA) came into effect on January 1, 2005, Australians have enjoyed an opportunity that no other foreign nationals enjoy: the opportunity to work in the United States on a non-immigrant basis under the E-3 visa. Under this agreement, Australians with special skills in almost any industry can work in the United States with fewer restrictions than most other U.S. work visa holders.<\/p>\n

Molly\u2019s Perspective<\/h2>\n

\"E-3For one such E-3 recipient, the opportunity to live and work in New York City is especially meaningful. In her excellent article that she wrote for news.com.au entitled, \u201cWhat America Does Better Than Us\u201d<\/a> Molly O\u2019Brien, a Marketing & Communications Specialist for Advance<\/a>, which represents \u201cthe largest network of global Australians,\u201d explains her love for her home country and the stability she had there but expresses her admiration for the American way of thinking. She describes her position as an E-3 worker as \u201cprecarious\u201d in the current political environment but chooses to stay because she is inspired by America\u2019s sense of exceptionalism and the idea that anyone can accomplish anything they put their mind to. She describes America as a nation of \u201cbountiful opportunity\u2026 unfailing optimism, and\u2026 dizzying positivity.\u201d Australia\u2019s system is designed with safety nets which, while comforting, encourages Australians like Molly to \u201cpolitely plug ourselves into the system, instead of creating something on our own.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Molly, like the over 50,000 Australians currently working in the U.S. on E-3 visas<\/a>, recognizes that, if your goal is to innovate and buck the status quo, the United States is the place to be. There is an obstinance about Americans, who understand that if they want something, they must get it for themselves. Complacency doesn\u2019t pay, but for those willing to put in the work, the rewards can be huge. This attitude is fostered by America\u2019s fierce sense of independence and individualism that is simply not present in many other cultures.<\/p>\n

Untapped Opportunity<\/h2>\n

Despite the fact that the E-3, which must be renewed every 2 years, but can be renewed an indefinite number of times, only 3,000 of the 10,500<\/a> places available each year were filled as of December 2016. Australians do not need to fulfill the same requirements or compete with other foreign nationals for hotly contested H-1B work visas, and the application process is much quicker and less expensive. Many Australians don\u2019t even realize that they have this unique opportunity, and JDC Consultancy aims to get the word out and help more Australian nationals advance their careers and experience the opportunities the USA has to offer firsthand. Australians seeking to become entrepreneurs and in the United States can also choose to apply for an E-2 treaty investor visa, which is a different type of visa than the E-3, and is geared towards entrepreneurs and investors that are seeking to set up their own business in the U.S. The E-2 visa requires an immigration business plan<\/a>\u00a0and is a very popular visa for budding Australian entrepreneurs seeking to relocate to the U.S. For those, like Molly, who are goal-driven and prepared to embrace the most rewarding challenge of their lives, there\u2019s no better place than the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
