Answers
Yes. You need to have a job offer from the U.S. before you can apply for the E-3 visa.
I am a skilled tradesperson with qualifications and experience in plumbing/electrical work/carpentry for example. Do these trades qualify as specialty occupations for the E-3 visa?
Not generally, because a requirement of the E-3 visa is that the job in the U.S. requires a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in a specialty occupation. As very few trade positions require a degree, they are not appropriate for E-3 visa employment.
E-3 visa holder spouses are entitled to work in the United States. Such spousal employment may be in a position other than a specialty occupation.
An E-3 visa is a multiple-entry visa, so provided you have not changed employers or made any other changes to your immigration status, you may travel outside the U.S. and reenter on a valid, unexpired E-3 visa.
