Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Software Applications Engineer
Align your degree field with the role
USCIS requires your bachelor's degree to match the specialty occupation. A software engineering or computer science degree maps cleanly, but an unrelated degree can trigger an RFE. Get a credential evaluation if your Australian qualification isn't an obvious match.
Target employers with LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data to confirm a company has certified LCAs for software applications roles before. Employers who've done it before move faster and make fewer errors that delay your start date.
Clarify remote and hybrid work arrangements early
The LCA must list your actual worksite. If you'll work remotely or rotate between client sites, your employer needs to file a blanket or amended LCA covering each location. Raise this before your offer is signed, not after.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the full process
Once you have a job offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork end-to-end. This keeps your employer's administrative burden low and reduces the risk of documentation errors that stall consulate processing.
Verify your employer's prevailing wage compliance
The DOL sets a prevailing wage floor for your job title and location. Your offered salary must meet or exceed it or the LCA won't certify. Cross-check the DOL's wage library against your offer before you accept.
Prepare for specialty occupation questions at the consulate
Consular officers may ask how your degree connects to your specific engineering duties. Bring a brief written statement linking your academic background to your job description. Australian three-year degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees.

Find Software Applications Engineer JobsSoftware Applications Engineer E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Software Applications Engineer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. It surfaces Software Applications Engineer roles where employers are open to E-3 sponsorship, so you're not cold-applying to companies that have never run an LCA. Filter by role, location, and visa type to find positions that match your background and move to application faster.
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 Software Applications Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes. Software applications engineering requires a theoretical and practical application of computer science or software engineering, which meets USCIS's specialty occupation standard. The role must require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. If your job description blends engineering with general IT support, your employer may need to tighten the role definition before filing the LCA.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for Software Applications Engineers?
The E-3 has no annual cap and no lottery, so you can apply any time of year and start as soon as your visa is approved. The H-1B is subject to an annual lottery with registration in March and an October 1 start date at the earliest. For Australian software engineers, the E-3 is a faster, more predictable path to U.S. employment.
Can I change employers or projects on an E-3 as a Software Applications Engineer?
Yes, but each new employer must file a new LCA before you start work with them. If your role involves client-site placements or you move between projects at different companies, each placement may require its own certification. Plan at least several weeks for the new LCA to clear before your start date with any new employer or worksite.
