Make Irish citizens eligible for E3 nonimmigrant work visas in the United States.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with this effort?
The effort to make Irish citizens eligible for E3 visas is stalled in the House Committee on the Judiciary as of February 12, 2025. Members of this committee must act to move H.R. 1337 forward, but the binding constraint is that most bills never receive a committee vote. History shows that committee inaction is the most common way for legislation to end without a full vote.
