Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Registered Nurse
Verify your BSN meets specialty occupation requirements
U.S. consular officers assess whether your nursing role qualifies as a specialty occupation. Your Australian BSN is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree, but get a credential evaluation from a NCSBN-recognized body before you apply.
Obtain NCLEX-RN licensure before targeting employers
Most U.S. hospital systems won't initiate E-3 sponsorship until you hold a valid state RN license. Sit the NCLEX-RN and secure licensure in your target state first so employers can file the LCA immediately after making an offer.
Search for E-3 sponsorship roles on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Registered Nurse openings by employers with active E-3 and H-1B sponsorship history. This cuts through listings where sponsorship is listed as possible but rarely offered in practice.
Target hospital systems over staffing agencies
Direct-hire hospital employers file the LCA under their own name, which satisfies DOL prevailing wage requirements cleanly. Staffing agency arrangements introduce third-party worksite complexity that can complicate your E-3 petition at the consulate.
Ask about LCA timing before accepting an offer
Your employer must file and receive DOL certification on the LCA before your consulate appointment can proceed. Confirm the employer has an HR team or immigration counsel ready to file promptly so there's no gap between your offer date and visa processing.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to manage your LCA and visa paperwork
From LCA submission through consulate preparation, Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles every document so your employer doesn't need separate immigration counsel. This is especially useful for smaller hospital systems filing an E-3 for the first time.

Find Registered Nurse JobsRegistered Nurse E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Registered Nurse jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Use Migrate Mate to search Registered Nurse roles filtered by employers with confirmed sponsorship history. Many hospital listings say sponsorship is available but are written for H-1B applicants or require you to already be in the U.S. Migrate Mate surfaces roles where E-3 sponsorship is actively offered to Australian nurses.
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 Registered Nurse role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the position requires a Bachelor of Science in Nursing as a minimum entry requirement. Roles that accept an Associate Degree in Nursing alone may not satisfy the specialty occupation standard. ICU, NICU, and other clinical specialties where a BSN is mandatory by hospital policy consistently qualify.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Australian nurses?
The E-3 has no annual cap and no lottery, so you can apply any time of year and your employer can file as soon as an offer is made. H-1B registrations for nurses compete in a lottery with a roughly 25% selection rate. For Australian nurses, the E-3 is the direct route without lottery risk.
Can I switch hospitals while on an E-3 visa as a Registered Nurse?
Yes, but your new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL and you'll need a new E-3 visa stamp before re-entering the U.S. if you travel internationally. If you stay in the U.S. continuously, some nurses manage the transition through a change of status, though consular processing is more common for E-3 holders.
