Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Real Estate Assistant
Frame your degree for specialty occupation
Real Estate Assistant roles don't automatically qualify as specialty occupations. Pull your O*NET profile for property and real estate managers and map your bachelor's degree in finance, business administration, or urban planning directly to the analytical duties in your job description.
Target employers with LCA filing history
Search Migrate Mate to identify real estate firms that have previously filed certified LCAs for assistant-level roles. Prior filing history signals an employer already understands the H-1B visa process, reducing the internal education burden on you during hiring conversations.
Verify prevailing wage before negotiating salary
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the prevailing wage for your specific SOC code and work location before your offer stage. Your employer's LCA must certify wages at or above that level, so knowing the floor protects you from an offer that USCIS would reject.
Confirm each worksite gets its own LCA
Real estate roles often involve multiple property sites or client offices. Each distinct worksite your employer assigns you to requires its own certified LCA filed with DOL. Confirm this with your employer's immigration counsel before accepting a role that lists multiple locations.
Build a credential file before job applications
Gather your official transcripts, degree equivalency evaluation if your credential is foreign, and any real estate licensing documentation before applying. Employers sponsoring H-1B petitions need these documents quickly once an offer is made, and delays can push filing past critical cap deadlines.
Ask employers about cap-exempt entity affiliations
Some real estate firms partner with or are subsidiaries of universities, nonprofits, or government research organizations that qualify as cap-exempt H-1B employers. If your target employer has such an affiliation, USCIS can approve your petition outside the annual cap selection process entirely.
H-1B Visa Real Estate Assistant: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Real Estate Assistant role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Not automatically. The role qualifies only when the employer structures it around duties that normally require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as finance, business administration, or real estate management. Clerical or administrative versions of the title do not meet the USCIS specialty occupation standard. Employers who sponsor H-1B holders for this role typically write job descriptions emphasizing financial analysis, lease negotiation, or investment portfolio coordination.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for Real Estate Assistant positions?
Commercial real estate firms, real estate investment trusts, and large property management companies are the most common sponsors, as they have the legal infrastructure and volume of degree-level work to support specialty occupation petitions. Migrate Mate lists employers with verified LCA filing history for assistant-level real estate roles, making it straightforward to identify which firms have already navigated this process.
How long does H-1B status last for a Real Estate Assistant?
USCIS grants H-1B status for up to three years on the initial petition, and your employer can file an extension to reach a six-year maximum. Beyond six years, further extensions require an approved I-140 immigrant petition under employment-based green card sponsorship. The status is tied to your specific employer and job duties, so a role change requires a new or amended petition.
What documents does my employer need to file my H-1B petition?
Your employer needs your official academic transcripts or a foreign credential evaluation, a detailed job description mapping duties to your degree, a certified Labor Condition Application from DOL, and a completed I-129 petition filed with USCIS. If you have prior U.S. immigration records, those should also be provided. Having your documents organized before the offer stage significantly speeds up the filing timeline.
Can I work at multiple property sites on a single H-1B?
Only if each site is covered by a certified LCA. DOL requires a separate LCA for each physical worksite location that isn't within normal commuting distance of the primary address on the original filing. Real estate roles that rotate across multiple properties or client offices need careful LCA management from your employer's immigration counsel to stay compliant with DOL rules.
