New E-3 Visa.

[spinnerhowland]

For those of you who are not aware. There has been a release of a new visa called the E-3.
This visa is for Australians ONLY.
You can check it out by doing a search on Google or similar engine.
Just type in E-3 Visa.
The basics are that you need a College Degree and then try and find a sponsor in the USA for work.
The Jacksonville Axemen do NOT have the ability act as a Sponsor as we do not have the means to provide a Salary to anyone.
However, those that have a geniune interest and meet all the Visa Requierments and would like to play Rugby League while here are welcome to make contact.
The AMNRL will also be putting a CAP on the number of Foriegn players any team may have on it's roster this year.

If I remember correctly partners also have full work rights and extensions can granted indefinitely.

It is only new and not yet well known about in Oz.

Yes, partners are also able to work. At last count only 600 of the 10'000 offered had been applied for.

Interesting stuff, especially the partners rights as highlighted by Copa. The more I think about it, the more enticing I find it to be.
