Research E-3 Sponsors: Frequently Asked Questions

Which research organizations sponsor the most E-3 visas?

OpenAI has the most, with 342 live E-3 jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Anthropic (314) and University of Florida (79). Across the 10 research organizations on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 979 live E-3 jobs, updated daily.

Who qualifies for E-3 sponsorship?

E-3 visa eligibility is limited to Australian citizens who have a job offer in a specialty occupation from a U.S. employer. A specialty occupation requires at least a bachelor's degree, or its equivalent, in a field directly related to the role. The employer must file a certified Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor before the applicant can apply at a U.S. consulate. The applicant must also demonstrate nonimmigrant intent.

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 research employer, the employer first files a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor and receives certification. The applicant then completes a DS-160 visa application, schedules a consular interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate in Australia, and attends the appointment with the certified LCA, a job offer letter, and proof of relevant qualifications. If approved, the E-3 is issued for a two-year period and can be renewed indefinitely.
