E3 Visa degree and work requirements

[rabidbird 0]

I'm hoping to apply for an E3 Visa in the future once I can meet the required 'equivalent education or work experience' criteria as I don't have a degree.

I have studied 1 year of a degree before dropping out. Would this still count towards 'other qualifications'?

I also have a TAFE Diploma, does this count towards 'other qualifications'?

What relevant documents or evidence can I show to prove my work experience as a freelancer? The only thing I can think of are time-sheets which details the work I do for clients. My tax or bas statements don't detail the type of work, it only shows the amount of money I've earned.

So in summary, I have:

- 1 year of a degree,

- I have 1 Diploma

- 5 years of work experience (2 years as permanent, 3 years as freelancer/contractor)

So based on my education and work experience, how many more years of work experience would I need to satisfy the criteria?

Thanks

Sound very likely, have you discussed this with your Employers lawyer?

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm from Australia, should I speak to a lawyer here that specializes in visas?

The company that offered you a job, their lawyer.

It is up to whoever is offering you the job to file for the visa. If you were thinking the E3 is for coming to the US to find a job, that's not correct. It's an easier route for Australians wanting to get a visa for a job they have already been offered.
