Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Security Engineer
Align your degree to the SOC code
H-1B1 Chile requires your credential to match the specialty occupation. Security Engineer roles typically map to SOC 15-1212. Verify the fit using O*NET before applying so your degree field directly supports the role.
Request the LCA before your offer letter
Your employer must file a Labor Condition Application with DOL before issuing a formal offer. Ask HR to confirm LCA timing upfront. Delays there stall your DS-160 and consulate appointment, so front-load this conversation.
Search verified sponsors using Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Security Engineer openings by employers with confirmed H-1B1 Chile filing history. That filters out companies unfamiliar with the visa, saving you rounds of education with recruiters who've never processed a Chilean national.
Benchmark wages against OFLC Wage Search
Your employer's LCA must meet the DOL prevailing wage for your location and job title. Run the OFLC Wage Search yourself before negotiating. If the offered rate falls below the Level I threshold, the LCA gets rejected.
Translate and notarize Chilean credentials early
Consular officers review your degree documents directly. Get your university transcript officially translated and notarized before your interview is scheduled. Last-minute credential gaps are the most common reason Chilean applicants miss appointment windows.
Clarify E-Verify status with smaller employers
Smaller cybersecurity firms sometimes aren't E-Verify enrolled, which can complicate your post-entry work authorization verification. Confirm enrollment before accepting an offer so onboarding doesn't stall on your first day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Security Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation under H-1B1 Chile?
Yes, Security Engineer positions qualify when they require at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, cybersecurity, information systems, or a closely related field. The role must genuinely require that specific theoretical knowledge. Generalist IT support roles using the same title often don't qualify, so your job description needs to reflect the technical depth of the work.
How does the H-1B1 Chile visa compare to H-1B for Security Engineers?
H-1B1 Chile skips the lottery entirely and is processed at the U.S. consulate in Santiago or another post, not through USCIS. The annual cap is 1,400 for Chilean nationals and hasn't been exhausted in recent years. The tradeoff is that H-1B visa1 doesn't allow dual intent, meaning you can't use it as a stepping stone toward a green card the way an approved H-1B petition can.
How do I find employers willing to sponsor H-1B1 Chile for a Security Engineer position?
Migrate Mate lets you search Security Engineer openings filtered by employers with H-1B1 Chile filing history, so you're not cold-approaching companies unfamiliar with the visa. Many cybersecurity teams that hire internationally know H-1B but haven't processed H-1B1 Chile before, making verified employer data the fastest way to narrow your search.
Can I switch Security Engineer employers after entering on H-1B1 Chile?
Yes, but the process restarts. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL and you'll need a new H-1B1 Chile approval before you begin working there. Unlike H-1B portability under AC21, there's no mechanism to start work while the new petition is pending. Plan the transition timeline carefully to avoid any gap in authorized employment.
Does my Chilean cybersecurity certification count toward H-1B1 Chile eligibility?
Professional certifications like CISSP or CEH alone don't satisfy the specialty occupation degree requirement for H-1B1 Chile. The visa requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field directly related to the Security Engineer role. Certifications can support your application and strengthen your profile with employers, but they don't substitute for the academic credential USCIS and consular officers require.
