I thank Senator Kyl for his question. He is correct in his understanding that the E-3 visa would not be limited to employment that is directly related to international trade and investment. To qualify for an E-3 visa, an Australian national must be seeking employment in a ``specialty occupation,'' as that term is defined in the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the U.S. employer must have obtained a certified labor attestation from the Department of Labor. In other respects, such as visa application procedures, periods of admission, dependent admissions, and spousal work authorizations, the rules applicable to the new E-3 visa will be the same as for other E visa holders currently. Also, Australian nationals will continue to have access to all existing categories of visas to which they are currently entitled.
