Biotech and Pharmaceutical E-3 Sponsors: Frequently Asked Questions

Which biotech and pharmaceutical companies sponsor the most E-3 visas?

AbbVie has the most, with 795 live E-3 jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (248) and Eli Lilly (153). Across the 10 biotech and pharmaceutical companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 1,418 live E-3 jobs, updated daily.

Who qualifies for E-3 sponsorship?

E-3 visa eligibility is limited to Australian nationals who have a job offer in a specialty occupation, meaning a role that requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. The applicant must hold that degree or its equivalent in experience. There is no lottery, and the annual cap of 10,500 has never been exhausted, so qualified candidates can apply year-round without competing for a limited number of slots.

How much does E-3 sponsorship cost?

The employer pays the required government fees, not the candidate. Base fees run from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on the employer and processing speed, plus legal costs. Recent policy changes have added significant fees for some filings and the amounts have been in flux, so check the current figure before you rely on it.

How do I get E-3 sponsorship from a top sponsor?

To obtain an E-3 through a biotech or pharmaceutical employer, the company first files a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor certifying that the offered wage meets prevailing wage standards. Once the LCA is certified, the Australian applicant schedules a visa interview at a U.S. consulate, brings the certified LCA along with supporting documents showing specialty occupation qualifications, and if approved, enters the United States in E-3 status for a two-year period that can be renewed indefinitely.
