Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Business Development Assistant
Frame your Australian degree for U.S. employers
A three-year Australian bachelor's degree is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree for E-3 purposes. Get a credential evaluation letter prepared before interviews so employers aren't surprised by the format.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Foreign Labor Application Gateway for companies that have filed Labor Condition Applications for business development roles. Prior LCA activity signals the employer already understands the E-3 sponsorship process, which shortens your path to an offer.
Confirm the role meets specialty occupation criteria
Business development titles vary widely. A role that accepts any degree, or lists a degree as preferred rather than required, can fail the E-3 specialty occupation test. Ask hiring managers directly whether the posted role requires a specific bachelor's degree field.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service after your offer
Once you have a signed offer letter, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork. This avoids the most common delay point, which is employers stalling because they don't know how to start the DOL certification process.
Address dual intent before your consulate interview
The E-3 is a nonimmigrant visa, so consular officers will assess your intent to return to Australia. Prepare a concise explanation of your ties to Australia and the temporary nature of your U.S. role, particularly if you have family or property back home.
Time your application around the LCA certification window
The DOL typically certifies an LCA within seven business days. Build that window into your start date negotiation so your employer isn't pressured to rush the process. A start date at least three weeks after the offer acceptance gives the filing timeline room to breathe.

Find Business Development Assistant JobsBusiness Development Assistant E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Business Development Assistant jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for U.S. roles with E-3 sponsorship. You can filter by job title and see which employers have a history of supporting E-3 applications, which removes the guesswork of cold-applying to companies that have never navigated the process before.
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 a Business Development Assistant role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
It depends on how the role is defined in the job description. The E-3 requires the position to normally require a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field. Business development roles tied to a business, marketing, economics, or communications degree typically qualify. Generalist coordinator roles that accept any major or list a degree as optional often do not.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Business Development Assistant roles?
The E-3 is available exclusively to Australian nationals and has no annual lottery, so you can apply at any point in the year once you have a job offer. The H-1B is subject to an annual cap and a random selection process, meaning most applicants wait months for a lottery result before anything moves forward. For business development roles, the E-3's year-round availability is a practical advantage.
Can my employer sponsor my E-3 visa if they have never done it before?
Yes. The E-3 process does not require the employer to have prior sponsorship experience. They need to file a Labor Condition Application with the DOL and provide a formal job offer letter. Many first-time E-3 sponsors work through the process without difficulty, particularly when the employee handles initial research and brings clear documentation of the steps involved.
