E-3 Visa Teaching Assistant Jobs
Teaching Assistant roles at U.S. universities and K-12 schools qualify as specialty occupations under E-3 visa rules when the position requires a bachelor's degree in education or a related field. Australian educators can secure E-3 sponsorship without competing in the H-1B lottery, and the visa renews every two years indefinitely as long as you hold a qualifying offer.

About the Department
The History Department is a diverse group of scholars covering many areas of specialization. We pride ourselves on outstanding teaching. We offer small classes that allow a great deal of individual attention. The History major is a place to get a “small college” education in a big state university.
The department of thirty professors has about two hundred fifty majors in three undergraduate programs—the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Arts with a Teacher Education Concentration, the Bachelor of Arts with a Legal History Concentration, and the Bachelor of Sciences. All programs offer a great deal of student choice in courses and electives, allowing the pursuit of either a broad educational experience or a focused study.
Our 80 student graduate program offers three distinct degrees: the M.A. in History, the M.A. in Public History, and the Ph.D. in Public History. However, all three degree programs require a strong foundation in traditional history.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Teaching Assistant
Target universities with existing LCA history
Research-intensive universities and large community college districts file LCAs regularly for Teaching Assistants, particularly in STEM and language departments. Institutions with graduate programs are accustomed to sponsoring international staff and understand the E-3 process.
Frame your application around required qualifications
Job postings that say 'bachelor's degree preferred' rather than 'required' can undermine your E-3 application. Before applying, check that the position description specifies a degree requirement in a relevant field, not just preferred credentials.
Ask your employer about LCA timeline early
Once you have a verbal offer, confirm your hiring manager knows the LCA must be certified by DOL before your visa interview. Most university HR departments can handle this, but smaller private schools may need guidance on the process.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the paperwork
Teaching Assistant offers at smaller schools often come from departments unfamiliar with E-3 requirements. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages the LCA filing, visa paperwork, and consulate preparation so neither you nor your employer needs to navigate it alone.
Prepare your credential equivalency documentation
Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees for E-3 purposes, but bring your official transcripts and any academic awards to your consulate appointment in case the officer requests clarification.

Find Teaching Assistant JobsTeaching Assistant E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Teaching Assistant jobs in the U.S. that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for U.S. roles with E-3 sponsorship. Rather than filtering generic job boards manually, you can search Teaching Assistant positions where employers are already familiar with the E-3 process, saving you from approaching schools that have never sponsored an international hire.
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 Teaching Assistant role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3 visa?
It depends on how the role is defined. A Teaching Assistant position qualifies when the employer requires a bachelor's degree in education, a specific subject area, or a related field as a genuine condition of employment. Roles that accept any degree or treat the degree as preferred rather than required can face challenges at the DOL LCA stage or during the consulate interview.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for Teaching Assistant roles in the U.S.?
For Australian nationals, the E-3 is a significantly more direct path. The H-1B has an annual cap of 85,000 and is subject to a lottery that regularly rejects qualified applicants. The E-3 has a 10,500 annual allocation that has never been exhausted, no lottery, and can be applied for at any time of year once you have a certified LCA and a signed offer letter.
Can I change schools or school districts while on an E-3 visa as a Teaching Assistant?
Yes, but you need a new LCA and a new visa endorsement tied to the new employer before you start work. The E-3 is employer-specific, so your current visa does not transfer to a new institution. If you're changing schools mid-year, factor in the DOL LCA certification timeline, which typically takes seven business days under standard processing.
