Last year, the proposal to add Irish Citizens to the E-3 program lost by just one vote against it ---- by Senator Cotton. There is hope that this time the bill will pass and become law.  

“I spoke to the one vote – who’s a great senator, by the way,” stated the US President to reporters prior to a meeting with  Ireland’s Prime Minster,

“And we think we’re going to be successful.

“He doesn’t mean to do any harm – that I can tell you,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Cotton. “He was telling me he loves Ireland, actually. So, I think we’re going to be in good shape.”

The E3 is a two-year renewable visa which allows Australian citizens and their spouses to live and work in the United States when they have a job offer and qualify as a “professional specialty worker” working for a US based  employer in a “specialty occupation”.  For more information on qualifying, please read our  other reports on the E-3 Visa, such as this one: https://www.immigrationbureau.com/visa-tips/how-to-get-an-e3-visa
