Summary of Bill HR 8761
Bill 117 HR 8761, also known as the "To add Ireland to the E-3 nonimmigrant visa program" bill, was introduced in the US Congress with the aim of including Ireland in the E-3 visa program. The E-3 visa program is a nonimmigrant visa category that allows Australian nationals to work in the United States in specialty occupations.
The bill seeks to extend this privilege to Irish nationals, allowing them to apply for E-3 visas and work in the US in specialized fields. This move is seen as a way to strengthen the relationship between the US and Ireland, as well as provide more opportunities for Irish citizens to work in the US.
If passed, the bill would open up new avenues for Irish nationals to pursue employment opportunities in the US, potentially benefiting both countries economically. The bill has garnered bipartisan support and is currently under consideration in Congress.
