Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Personal Assistant
Frame your degree for specialty occupation
E-3 visa eligibility hinges on your role qualifying as a specialty occupation. Reframe your bachelor's degree in business, communications, or a related field to show it directly supports the PA duties listed in your job offer letter.
Target executive-level PA roles specifically
Senior or C-suite PA positions are far easier to defend as specialty occupations than general admin roles. Search for titles like Executive Assistant to CEO or Chief of Staff, where a degree requirement is standard and explicit.
Confirm the employer will file an LCA
Before accepting an offer, verify your employer understands they must file a Labor Condition Application with the DOL before your visa can be issued. Many smaller employers hire PAs without knowing this step exists.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to manage paperwork
The LCA, DS-160, and consulate preparation involve tightly sequenced steps that many employers have never handled for an Australian hire. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages the entire process from offer to consulate appointment.
Prepare a credential equivalency summary for interviews
Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees for E-3 purposes. Bring a written credential summary to interviews so U.S. hiring managers can confirm the qualification without delaying the offer.
Time your application around consulate availability
E-3 visas are issued at Australian consulates, so appointment wait times directly affect your start date. Check current appointment availability early in negotiations so you can set a realistic start date in your offer letter.
E-3 Visa Personal Assistant: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Personal Assistant jobs in the U.S. with E-3 sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lists Personal Assistant roles with U.S. employers that offer E-3 visa sponsorship for Australian nationals. Because many U.S. employers are unfamiliar with the E-3, filtering specifically for sponsorship-confirmed roles saves significant time and avoids applying to positions where the employer won't support the filing 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 Personal Assistant role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
It depends on how the role is defined. General administrative assistant positions often don't qualify because the job can be performed without a specific bachelor's degree. Executive or senior PA roles tied to a degree in business administration, communications, or a related field are stronger candidates. The job offer letter must explicitly state that a degree is required, not merely preferred.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Personal Assistant roles?
The E-3 has no lottery and no annual cap, so there's no random selection process and applications can be filed year-round. The H-1B visa, by contrast, is subject to an annual lottery that rejects the majority of applicants. For Australian PAs with a qualifying job offer, the E-3 is a direct path that doesn't depend on luck.
Can my E-3 status be maintained if I change PA employers in the U.S.?
Yes, but each new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you'll need to obtain a new E-3 visa stamp at an Australian consulate before re-entering the U.S. in most cases. You can't simply transfer the existing visa to a new employer the way some other visa categories allow portability. Start the new LCA process before your current role ends to avoid a status gap.
