Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Human Resources Assistant
Confirm your degree meets specialty occupation
HR Assistant roles can be harder to qualify than senior HR positions because some employers list a degree as preferred, not required. Check that your job offer explicitly requires a bachelor's degree in HR, business administration, or psychology to satisfy the E-3 visa specialty occupation standard.
Target employers with dedicated HR departments
Mid-to-large companies with in-house HR teams are more likely to understand E-3 sponsorship and have the infrastructure to file an LCA with DOL. Smaller businesses often misidentify HR support roles as not visa-eligible, even when the role qualifies.
Prepare an Australian credential equivalency letter
A three-year Australian bachelor's degree in human resources is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree for E-3 purposes. Having a credential evaluation ready before interviews prevents delays and reassures hiring managers unfamiliar with Australian qualifications.
Clarify LCA obligations before accepting an offer
Your employer must file a certified Labor Condition Application with DOL before you can apply for the E-3 visa. Confirm the hiring team knows this step sits with them, not you, so your start date doesn't slip due to a process the employer assumed you would manage.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the full process
Once you have a signed offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork end to end. This is especially useful for HR roles where employer HR teams may be unfamiliar with sponsoring their own department's hires.
Address E-3 visa renewal timing with your employer upfront
E-3 status is granted in two-year increments with no cap on renewals, but your employer must refile an LCA each cycle. Raise this in onboarding so renewal isn't treated as a new sponsorship request when your initial period approaches expiration.
E-3 Visa Human Resources Assistant: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Human Resources Assistant jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Search Migrate Mate to filter Human Resources Assistant roles by employers who have sponsored E-3 or similar work visas. Many HR Assistant positions qualify but aren't explicitly advertised as visa-sponsored, so targeting employers with a demonstrated sponsorship history gives you a more reliable starting point than filtering by job title alone.
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 HR Assistant role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3 visa?
It can, but the offer letter matters. The position must normally require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as human resources, organizational psychology, or business administration. Generalist admin roles where any degree is acceptable typically don't meet the specialty occupation threshold, so the job description needs to be specific about the degree requirement.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for HR Assistant roles?
The E-3 is available only to Australian citizens but has no annual lottery and no cap that realistically fills, so you can apply at any point in the year once you have a job offer. The H-1B visa requires entering a lottery with roughly a one-in-four selection rate. For HR Assistant roles, the E-3 is a far more predictable path if you hold Australian citizenship.
Can my employer sponsor me for an E-3 visa if they have never done it before?
Yes. The E-3 process doesn't require prior experience on the employer's part. The main step they must handle is filing a Labor Condition Application with DOL, which certifies the offered wage meets prevailing wage standards. The LCA is submitted online and typically certified within seven business days, making it straightforward for first-time sponsoring employers.
