Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as an Information Security Engineer
Align your credentials to U.S. specialty occupation standards
Your Australian three-year bachelor's degree in IT, computer science, or cybersecurity is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree. Gather your academic transcripts and a credential evaluation before you start applying so employers can confirm specialty occupation eligibility upfront.
Target employers with active federal contracts
Federal contractors and agencies subject to FISMA compliance hire information security engineers regularly and are already familiar with sponsored visa processes. Search DOL's FLAG system for employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for security engineering roles in the past two years.
Clarify the LCA wage level during offer negotiations
The LCA your employer files with DOL must certify a prevailing wage at Level I through IV. Wage level affects both your offer and the LCA approval, so confirm with the hiring team which SOC code they plan to use for the role before you accept.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for a clean consulate package
Once you have a signed offer letter and certified LCA, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your DS-160, visa paperwork, and consulate preparation. This keeps the process on track and reduces the risk of an administrative delay before your start date.
Address security clearance questions before the interview
Some information security engineer roles require or prefer U.S. security clearances, which are not available to non-U.S. persons. Confirm with the recruiter whether clearance eligibility is a hard requirement, since this affects which roles are practically open to E-3 holders.
Prepare for specialty occupation scrutiny at the consulate
Consular officers assess whether your specific role genuinely requires a specialized degree. Bring your job offer letter, a brief description of your duties, and your degree transcripts to demonstrate that the position demands the theoretical and practical application of cybersecurity principles.
E-3 Visa Information Security Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Information Security Engineer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals seeking U.S. roles with E-3 sponsorship. You can filter by job title and see which employers have a history of filing for sponsored roles. Standard job boards don't filter by visa type, so you end up cold-screening hundreds of listings without knowing whether sponsorship is even on the table.
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 Information Security Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, information security engineering qualifies as a specialty occupation because the role requires the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge, typically in computer science, cybersecurity, or information assurance. USCIS and consular officers look at the job duties and degree requirement in your offer letter, not just the job title. Roles that list a bachelor's in a relevant field as required, not preferred, are the strongest candidates.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Information Security Engineers?
The E-3 is available only to Australian citizens and has a 10,500-slot annual cap that has never been exhausted, meaning there's no lottery and no multi-year wait. The H-1B visa has an 85,000-slot cap with a heavily oversubscribed lottery, so most applicants are not selected in a given year. For an Australian information security engineer, the E-3 is a direct, predictable path, while H-1B eligibility depends entirely on random selection.
Can I switch employers if I'm already in the U.S. on an E-3 as a security engineer?
Yes, but your E-3 status is tied to your current employer and role. Before your last day, your new employer needs to file a new LCA with DOL and you'll typically need a new visa stamp for the role change, which means a consulate visit. You can continue working for the original employer while the new LCA is being processed, but you can't start the new job until the paperwork is in order.
