How to Get Visa Sponsorship as an Information Security Specialist
Target employers with active security clearance programs
Defense contractors, federal agencies, and financial institutions run large security teams and sponsor visas regularly. These employers have established immigration infrastructure, making the sponsorship process faster and less uncertain than with smaller companies.
Highlight certifications alongside your degree
CISSP, CISM, CompTIA Security+, and CEH credentials signal technical depth to employers and strengthen your H-1B petition. USCIS scrutinizes specialty occupation claims for security roles, and certifications help demonstrate the position requires specialized expertise.
Frame your role around a specific security domain
Generalist titles face more USCIS scrutiny than domain-specific ones. Positioning yourself as a penetration tester, SOC analyst, or cloud security engineer ties your degree directly to the role and makes the specialty occupation argument significantly cleaner.
Verify the employer has filed security-role LCAs before
Employers who have sponsored information security specialists previously understand the process and prevailing wage obligations. Prior LCA filings for your role type are a strong signal the company is prepared to move quickly and accurately.
Request a specialty occupation opinion letter if your degree is adjacent
If your degree is in mathematics, electrical engineering, or a non-CS field, an immigration attorney can draft a legal opinion connecting your background to the security role. This proactively addresses the most common RFE trigger for this occupation.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Information Security Specialist qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases. USCIS consistently recognizes information security roles as specialty occupations when the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, information systems, cybersecurity, or a closely related field. Roles tied to a specific domain, such as threat analysis, incident response, or cloud security, have the strongest petitions. Generic titles with loosely defined duties face a higher risk of a Request for Evidence.
What degree do I need for an employer to sponsor my visa in this field?
Most employers require a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, cybersecurity, or a related STEM discipline. Some accept degrees in mathematics or electrical engineering when paired with relevant experience. Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees for E-3 purposes. If your degree is in an adjacent field, three years of specialized security experience can substitute for one year of education in certain visa frameworks.
How do I find employers who actively sponsor visas for security roles?
Browse Migrate Mate to filter information security positions by visa sponsorship availability. Employers who list roles there have already indicated willingness to sponsor, which cuts out the guesswork of cold applications. Defense contractors, large financial institutions, and cloud infrastructure companies are the most active sponsors, but mid-sized managed security service providers also file LCAs for this role regularly.
Are H-1B approval rates high for information security roles?
Approval rates for well-documented security petitions are strong. The primary risk factor is specialty occupation challenges, which occur when a job description is vague or the employer fails to show the role requires a specific degree. Petitions that clearly tie the position to a technical security domain, include a detailed duties description, and show the degree requirement in the job posting consistently clear USCIS review without issue.
Can I change employers mid-visa if I find a better security role?
Yes. For H-1B holders, portability rules allow you to start working for a new employer as soon as they file a transfer petition, without waiting for approval, provided your original petition was approved and you've maintained valid status. For E-3 holders, the process restarts with the new employer filing a fresh LCA and you obtaining a new visa stamp, which typically takes a few weeks from an Australian consulate.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Information Security Specialist jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
