DOS issues E-3 regulations |

DOS final rule implements the E-3 visa for Australian specialty occupation workers. (70 FR 52292, 9/2/05). We are still waiting for CIS to issue regulations that would allow foreign nationals currently in the U.S. to change their status to E-3 without leaving the United States. As an added convenience to employers, DOL has also added the option of selecting E-3 as the 'Program Designation' on the online LCA application. Therefore, as of January 4, 2006, instead of mailing their applications to DOL's National Office, employers may electronically submit their E-3 LCAs through http://www.lca.doleta.gov/.
