E3 Visas for Irish Revisited- House and Ways Committee Chairman US Rep. Richie Neal recently reintroduced H.R.2418 to add Ireland to the E-3 Non-Immigrant Visa. This Bill, which would allocate the remainder of Australia’s 10,500 E3 visas for Irish applicants. Based on last years effort, we learned that many Congress members think Ireland has no problems getting visas to the U.S. Hibernians must educate their Congress reps that the Irish for over 50 years have been adversely affected by current rules. This Bill doesn’t address issues of the undocumented and those long waiting for immigrant visas. Out of a potential 50,000 DV lottery immigrant visas, Ireland received less
\nthan 100 in recent years.<\/p>\n

It is time for a permanent resolution of legal immigrant status for Irish Political Deportees, and urgent action is required for Malachy McAllister and his family. The AOH encourage the Department of Homeland Security to issue a Terrorism-Related Inadmissibility Grounds Exemption for the participants and groups that have honored the Good Friday Agreement. The AOH National Immigration Committee working with National President Jim McKay, National Treasurer Sean Pender, National FFAI Chair Martin Galvin, the Irish America Unity Conference. US legislators, the Irish and US State Departments, and the agencies of DHS to end the cycle of delays and denials our Brother members and their families face with increasing difficulty.<\/p>\n
