Hello,

E3 visa is a work visa that is purely temporary in nature and will NOT ON ITS
OWN lead to a green card.

But you can start a separate process, independent of E3, for a green card even if you are working on E3 provided you qualify for one
of the green card categories. Look at all the green card categories at
http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1326.html

An example is your employer in US filing for your green card, he could file an I-140 , which is the form number
for a permanent visa application for a foreign worker. But remember, green cards may take years, depending on your category.
