The employment of professionals (and fashion models) on a full-time or part-time basis in businesses in the United States. The applicant must be sponsored by a U.S. business for a position, which is nationally recognized as requiring a Bachelor's degree in order to perform it. To find out whether a position is recognized as professional (requiring a Bachelor's degree) you can consult the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook.

The E-3 visa is for the professional employment of Australian nationals in the United States. You must have an offer of employment from a US business for a job in a particular profession and you must meet the education and/or licensure requirements for that profession. A benefit to this status is that it can be used as an alternative to the H-1B (the primary professional visa) which is subject to numerical caps and frequently is used up early.

I am very happy to say that hiring Macarena as my lawyer was a great decision, she has helped me and stayed on top of my case since day one. It was a very stressful process due to covid and everything being delayed but with the help of Macarena being very persistent to get everything expedited, I officially became a PR. I am very thankful!

Excellent service!
Macarena Santos was in charge of my 2 cases. She has always been professional, responsive, kind, and an excellent human being as well.
She did a very good job when it took to my cases, anytime I reached her out, she was always there.
I will recommend her always.
Thank you Macarena!

I hope this review reaches everyone. Last year I was going through difficulties finding a lawyer to apply for my F1 visa from within the US. The difficulties in such a process are that it requires close attention on the deadlines and it requires multiple documents and multiple submissions. I was fortunate to work with Esq. Gerstein. All it took was a phone call and set up a meeting, never met him before or heard of him, only through the reviews. The process was highly professional, his support was very personal replying to all inquiries and emails sent to him on time and with detailed explanations

A friend of mine recommended the firm, and they’ve been exceptionally amazing and very professional! Macarena was extremely patient with questions I’ve had, and would always keep me updated throughout my immigration process, and the staff in the main office were also extremely helpful as well! I can’t thank them all enough! I would 100% recommend them as well!

Today I finally became an US Citizen. Mr. William Gerstein has been with me every step of the way. My case was a bit complex to the point of getting a NOID. I met other attorneys before Mr. Gerstein and one of them said my case was too risky and I could get deported if I tried to apply for citizenship. But after meeting with Mr. Gerstein, he understood my case, came up with a plan on how to proceed and fix it. Thanks to his experience and knowledge we made through it. Even when he was spending time with his family, he made sure I was being taken care of. I can’t thank you enough Mr. Gerstein

My wife and I had been to multiple immigration lawyers before being recommended Gerstein and Gerstein from a family member. Most of them seemed interested in our money more than helping us . When we met with Macarena from Gerstein & Gerstein she explained everything in great details and answered all of our questions and concerns. Throughout the whole process she explained every step so there was no confusion. We are very grateful and there is no one we would have rather used to guide us through the application.
