Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Head Of People
Frame your HR credentials for U.S. specialty occupation
Australian HR qualifications translate well, but your degree must align with the specific role. A general business degree can support a Head of People application if your transcript shows substantial HR or organizational behavior coursework.
Target companies with existing people ops infrastructure
Mid-to-large U.S. employers with dedicated HR functions are far more likely to sponsor E-3 visas than early-stage startups. Look for organizations that already have HR Business Partner or Chief People Officer roles in their structure.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to streamline your LCA
The Labor Condition Application is your employer's first filing obligation before your visa can proceed. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork so your employer isn't navigating DOL requirements alone.
Prepare a U.S.-style resume before outreach begins
Australian CVs that include photos, personal details, or referee lists can create friction with U.S. hiring managers. Reformat yours to a clean one-to-two page resume that leads with measurable people outcomes and U.S.-relevant metrics.
Clarify E-3 eligibility early in offer negotiations
Many U.S. employers confuse the E-3 with the H-1B lottery process. Raising it before the offer stage, not after, gives your employer time to confirm USCIS requirements and prevents delays when the offer letter is ready.
Align your job description with DOL prevailing wage classifications
The LCA must certify a wage meeting the DOL prevailing wage for the specific SOC code assigned to your role. Ask your employer to verify the correct classification for a Head of People title before the LCA is filed.
E-3 Visa Head Of People: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Head of People jobs that offer 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 track record of sponsoring work visas, which removes the guesswork of cold-applying to companies unfamiliar with the E-3 process.
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 Head of People role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the role requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field such as human resources, organizational psychology, industrial relations, or business administration. Roles that list a degree as preferred rather than required can create complications at the consulate, so the job offer letter must clearly state the degree requirement.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for Head of People roles?
The E-3 has no annual cap and no lottery, so your application isn't subject to the random selection process that rejects roughly two-thirds of H-1B registrants each year. You can apply at any time of year once you have a certified LCA and a signed job offer, which makes the timeline far more predictable for both you and your employer.
Can I change employers after starting a Head of People role on an E-3?
Yes, but the E-3 is employer-specific. If you move to a new organization, your new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you'll need to obtain a new E-3 visa stamp before re-entering the U.S. or, in some cases, complete a change of status while remaining in the country. You can begin working for the new employer once the new LCA is certified and the visa is approved.
