Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as an iOS Engineer
Verify your degree field matches the role
U.S. consular officers assess whether your bachelor's degree is in a field directly related to iOS engineering. A software engineering, computer science, or IT degree is clean. An unrelated degree requires a credential evaluation showing equivalency through coursework or experience.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for software developer roles before are already familiar with the DOL certification process. Prioritise companies that have sponsored engineers on work visas, since they won't need educating on E-3 mechanics.
Get your portfolio hosted and accessible before applying
Consular officers and employers both need to verify the specialty nature of your iOS work. A public GitHub profile, App Store releases, or a portfolio site documenting your Swift and Xcode projects strengthens both your job application and your visa documentation.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the LCA and paperwork
The LCA must be DOL-certified before your consulate appointment, and the supporting documents need to align precisely with your job offer. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles the full process from LCA submission through consulate preparation so nothing is missed.
Book your consulate appointment once the LCA is certified
The DOL typically certifies LCAs within seven business days. Schedule your Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth consulate appointment only after you have the certified LCA in hand, since it is a required document at the interview window.

Find iOS Engineer JobsiOS Engineer E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find iOS Engineer jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. It surfaces iOS Engineer roles at U.S. employers who are open to E-3 sponsorship, so you're not cold-filtering thousands of listings. Because the E-3 requires no lottery, many employers who won't touch H-1B sponsorship will sponsor an E-3, which expands your realistic target list significantly.
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 iOS Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes. iOS engineering consistently qualifies as a specialty occupation because the role requires at minimum a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related technical field. USCIS and consular officers look at whether the position theoretically and practically requires that degree level, and iOS development satisfies both tests given its reliance on Swift, Xcode, and complex software architecture knowledge.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for an Australian iOS engineer?
The E-3 is available year-round with no lottery, no annual cap, and no USCIS petition filing requirement, meaning your start date isn't contingent on a fiscal year lottery result. The H-1B is subject to an 85,000-slot annual cap and a randomised lottery that rejected roughly 75 percent of registrants in recent years. For an Australian national, the E-3 is the faster, more predictable path.
Can I switch iOS Engineer roles while on an E-3 visa?
You can change employers, but the E-3 is employer-specific, so your new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you'll need a new visa annotation, typically obtained at a consulate abroad or, in some cases, through a change of status. You can begin working for the new employer after the new LCA is certified and a new E-3 is approved.
