Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as an Assistant General Counsel
Verify your bar admission transfers correctly
Australian law degrees don't automatically satisfy U.S. bar requirements. Confirm you hold active admission in at least one U.S. state before applying, most in-house AGC roles require it, and the E-3 specialty occupation standard depends on that credential.
Target companies with existing in-house legal teams
Companies that already employ U.S.-based general counsel understand the LCA filing process and internal approval chains. Mid-market firms in tech, financial services, and healthcare are especially active in sponsoring in-house legal hires on E-3 visas.
Frame your Australian legal background as jurisdiction-specific value
Hiring managers sometimes flag international credentials as a liability. Reframe your Australian corporate law and regulatory experience as a differentiator for roles involving cross-border transactions, APAC operations, or international compliance programs.
Request the LCA before your start date is set
Your employer must file the Labor Condition Application with the DOL and receive certification before you can attend your consulate appointment. Build that lead time into your offer negotiation so your start date reflects realistic E-3 processing timelines.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for LCA and consulate prep
In-house legal roles often involve tight offer-to-start timelines. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA, DS-160, and consulate paperwork so nothing slips between employer HR and your visa appointment.
Clarify employment type during offer negotiations
E-3 visas require a direct employer-employee relationship. Contract, secondment, or third-party staffing arrangements complicate LCA filing and can delay or invalidate sponsorship. Confirm the role is a direct hire before the offer stage.

Find Assistant General Counsel JobsAssistant General Counsel E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Assistant General Counsel jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for U.S. roles that support E-3 sponsorship. Rather than filtering generic job boards for visa-willing employers, Migrate Mate surfaces Assistant General Counsel positions at companies with active sponsorship history, so you spend less time cold-applying to roles that will reject you at the offer stage.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does an Assistant General Counsel role qualify as an E-3 specialty occupation?
Yes. The E-3 specialty occupation requirement is met when a role normally requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field. Assistant General Counsel positions universally require a Juris Doctor, which exceeds that threshold. USCIS and the DOL both treat attorney roles as qualifying specialty occupations, so the designation is rarely contested for in-house legal positions.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for Assistant General Counsel roles?
The E-3 has no annual cap and no lottery, so Australian lawyers can apply any time a job offer is in hand. H-1B petitions for the same role are subject to an annual cap and random selection, meaning a qualified candidate can be shut out for a full year despite a valid offer. The E-3 also renews indefinitely in two-year increments, which suits the multi-year tenure typical of in-house AGC roles.
Can I change employers or move to a new AGC role while on an E-3?
Yes, but you can't start with the new employer until a fresh LCA is certified by the DOL and your new E-3 documentation is in order. There's no portability provision equivalent to what exists for H-1B holders, so the timing needs to be coordinated carefully. Some Australians return to Australia for a new consulate appointment; others change status from within the U.S. if they remain in valid E-3 status.
