Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as an Infrastructure Security Engineer
Target employers with established H-1B filing history
Large technology companies, financial institutions, and defense contractors file H-1B petitions for security engineers consistently. Filtering by employers with prior sponsorship history narrows your search to realistic opportunities rather than companies new to the process.
Frame your resume around infrastructure-specific security skills
Employers and USCIS both scrutinize whether your background matches the role. Highlight specific platforms and protocols: firewall architecture, zero-trust network design, SIEM tools, and cloud security frameworks like AWS Security Hub or Azure Sentinel.
A relevant degree strengthens your specialty occupation case
USCIS evaluates whether the position normally requires a specialized degree. Computer science, cybersecurity, information assurance, or electrical engineering all support the specialty occupation argument. Unrelated degrees create friction that employers and attorneys must address.
Certifications support your petition but do not replace a degree
CISSP, CISM, CompTIA Security+, and cloud security certifications demonstrate competency and help with visa interviews. They strengthen the overall petition package, but USCIS still requires a qualifying degree or its equivalent in years of experience.
Start the sponsorship conversation early in the hiring process
Raising visa needs after an offer creates friction. Mentioning it during initial screening lets recruiters confirm employer policy before both sides invest time. Most large tech and finance employers have immigration counsel on retainer and expect this question.
Browse Infrastructure Security Engineer roles on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters jobs by visa sponsorship availability, so every listing you see reflects an employer willing to sponsor. This removes the guesswork of cold-applying and discovering sponsorship limitations after multiple interview rounds.

Find Infrastructure Security Engineer JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Do Infrastructure Security Engineer roles qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Yes. Infrastructure Security Engineer is a specialty occupation under H-1B criteria because the role normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, cybersecurity, information systems, or a closely related technical field. USCIS consistently approves H-1B petitions for security engineering roles at companies that document the degree requirement clearly in the job description and Labor Condition Application.
What degree do I need for an employer to sponsor my visa as an Infrastructure Security Engineer?
A bachelor's degree in computer science, cybersecurity, information assurance, electrical engineering, or information systems satisfies the specialty occupation requirement for most petitions. Degrees in unrelated fields can still qualify if you have substantial coursework in a technical discipline and the employer's attorney builds a supporting argument. Three years of relevant work experience can substitute for one year of formal education if you lack a four-year degree.
Are Infrastructure Security Engineers likely to get selected in the H-1B lottery?
Selection depends on the annual lottery, not the job title. In FY2025, USCIS received roughly 442,000 registrations for 85,000 available slots, producing a selection rate near 25%. Applicants with a U.S. master's degree or higher enter a separate advanced-degree pool, which historically improves selection odds. Some employers pursue cap-exempt petitions through qualifying nonprofit or university affiliations, which bypasses the lottery entirely.
Can I work as an Infrastructure Security Engineer on OPT while waiting for H-1B sponsorship?
Yes. If you graduated from a U.S. university with a STEM-eligible degree, you qualify for a 24-month STEM OPT extension beyond the initial 12-month OPT period, giving you up to three years of work authorization. This window covers at least two H-1B lottery cycles. Your employer must be enrolled in E-Verify to support the STEM extension, which most established tech and finance employers already satisfy.
Where can I find Infrastructure Security Engineer jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lists Infrastructure Security Engineer roles specifically filtered for visa sponsorship availability. Every job on the platform reflects an employer willing to sponsor, so you can apply with confidence rather than discovering immigration limitations late in the hiring process. Browse current openings on Migrate Mate to find roles matched to your visa situation.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Infrastructure Security Engineer 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.
