Tips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Travel Nurse RN

Get your CGFNS credentials evaluated early

U.S. hospitals require foreign-educated nurses to complete a Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) credential evaluation before the state board issues an RN license. Start this process six to eight months before your target start date.

Target travel nursing agencies with LCA experience

Travel nursing staffing agencies vary widely in E-3 visa familiarity. Ask each agency directly whether they have filed a Labor Condition Application for an E-3 worker before accepting a placement offer, since the LCA must be certified by DOL before your consulate appointment.

Obtain state RN licensure before accepting an offer

Your E-3 petition is tied to a specific employer and state. Confirm which state your travel assignment is in, then apply for that state's RN license through endorsement or the Nurse Licensure Compact before the employer files your LCA with DOL.

Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the paperwork

Travel nursing contracts are short-term, which means your LCA and visa documents need to move fast. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages the entire process from offer to consulate appointment, keeping your start date on schedule.

Confirm your assignment qualifies as a specialty occupation

Not every travel RN posting explicitly states that a BSN is required. Before signing a contract, verify the job description lists a bachelor's degree in nursing as a minimum requirement, or USCIS may question whether the role meets the specialty occupation standard.

Prepare for dual-intent scrutiny at your consulate interview

E-3 is a nonimmigrant visa, so consular officers assess ties to Australia. Bring documentation of ongoing Australian commitments, such as property ownership, superannuation records, or family ties, alongside your employment contract and LCA approval notice.

E-3 Visa Travel Nurse RN: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find Travel Nurse RN jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?

Search Migrate Mate to filter Travel Nurse RN roles by employers that offer E-3 visa sponsorship. Many travel nursing agencies list positions without specifying visa support, so using a platform built around E-3 sponsorship filters out roles where the employer is unwilling or unfamiliar with the LCA 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 the E-3 visa work differently from the H-1B for travel nurses?

Yes, meaningfully so. The H-1B visa requires lottery selection and has an 85,000 annual cap, while the E-3 has a 10,500 annual allocation that has never been exhausted, meaning Australian RNs can apply any time of year. The E-3 also allows unlimited two-year renewals, which suits travel nursing's rolling contract structure far better than H-1B's six-year cap.

Can I change travel nursing agencies while on an E-3 visa?

Yes, but each new agency must file a fresh LCA and you must obtain a new E-3 visa stamp before re-entering the U.S. if your current visa stamp has expired. Changing agencies mid-assignment without a new approval can create gaps in authorized work status, so coordinate the transition before your current contract ends.

Does my three-year Australian nursing degree qualify for the E-3?

A three-year Bachelor of Nursing from an Australian university is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year BSN for E-3 purposes, but you should have a CGFNS credential evaluation on file to support this equivalency. The consular officer has discretion, and a formal evaluation removes ambiguity from your application.
