Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Software Development Engineer
Align your degree to the role
H-1B1 visa requires your degree to match the specialty occupation. For Senior Software Development Engineer roles, a degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field satisfies the requirement. A general business degree does not, even with years of coding experience.
Research prevailing wages before negotiating
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage that meets DOL prevailing-wage levels for your job title and location. Run the OFLC Wage Search using the SOC code for software developers before any offer conversation so you know the floor your employer must meet.
Target employers already familiar with H-1B1
Most U.S. tech employers know H-1B but not H-1B1. Focus your search on companies with active LCA filing history for specialty occupation roles. Use Migrate Mate to filter for employers who have sponsored H-1B1 Chile visa holders or filed LCAs for similar software engineering positions.
Clarify E-Verify status with hiring teams
Your employer must participate in E-Verify to employ you on H-1B1 visa status. Confirm this during the offer stage, not after signing. Federal contractors are already required to use E-Verify, but many private-sector tech companies need to enroll before your start date.
Get the LCA certified before your consulate appointment
The DOL must certify your employer's LCA before you can apply for the H-1B1 visa at the consulate. DOL typically certifies within seven working days, but build in buffer time so a minor correction doesn't delay your interview and push back your start date.
Use O*NET to document specialty occupation
Consular officers assess whether your role qualifies as a specialty occupation. Pull the O*NET profile for your job title and confirm it lists a bachelor's degree in a specific field as the standard entry requirement. Bring this documentation to your consulate appointment to support your case.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Software Development Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Chile?
Yes. Software development engineering roles consistently qualify as specialty occupations because they require at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a directly related field. The O*NET profile for this occupation confirms that a specific technical degree is the standard requirement, which satisfies the H-1B1 visa specialty occupation definition under USCIS guidance.
How does H-1B1 Chile compare to H-1B for Senior Software Development Engineer roles?
Both visas cover the same specialty occupation category, so your role qualifies under either. The practical difference is the process: H-1B requires winning a lottery with roughly one-in-four odds, while H-1B1 Chile goes straight to a consulate application with no lottery and a 1,400-visa cap that has never been exhausted. For Chilean engineers, H-1B1 is the faster and more predictable path.
How do I find employers who will sponsor an H-1B1 Chile visa for this role?
Migrate Mate lets you search for employers with verified H-1B1 LCA filing history filtered by occupation, so you can identify companies that have already sponsored roles matching Senior Software Development Engineer. This saves you from applying to employers who have no experience with the H-1B1 Chile process and may be unwilling to learn it.
Can I switch employers while on H-1B1 Chile status as a software engineer?
Yes, but you can't use H-1B portability the way H-1B holders can. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL, get it certified, and you must obtain a new H-1B1 visa stamp at the consulate before starting work for them. Plan for at least several weeks between an accepted offer and your first day at the new company.
What documentation does a Senior Software Development Engineer need for an H-1B1 consulate appointment?
You'll need a certified LCA from DOL, your employer's support letter describing the specialty occupation role, your academic credentials showing a degree in a directly related field, and a completed DS-160. USCIS does not adjudicate H-1B1 visa petitions, so there is no I-129 approval notice. The consular officer makes the final determination at your interview.
