Is Migrate Mate Legit?

If you've come across Migrate Mate while searching for U.S. visa sponsorship jobs, it's completely reasonable to want to know whether it's legitimate before signing up. Immigration job scams are real, and being cautious is smart.

The short answer: yes, Migrate Mate is legit. We're a registered U.S. business headquartered in New York, featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for Social Impact, and rated 4.4/5 on Trustpilot with 40+ reviews. Over 27,000 job seekers have used the platform to search for visa sponsorship jobs in the U.S.

Here's a closer look at what we do, how the platform works, and what actual users have to say.

What Migrate Mate does

Migrate Mate is a job search platform for international professionals looking for U.S. jobs with visa sponsorship. We aggregate job listings where employers have a track record of sponsoring work visas, and we give you tools to search, filter, and connect with those employers directly.

The platform covers:

• E-3 visas for Australian professionals
• H-1B visas for specialty occupation workers
• F-1 OPT/CPT for international students
• TN visas for Canadian and Mexican professionals
• H-1B1 visas for professionals from Chile and Singapore
• J-1 visas for exchange visitors
• EB-2/EB-3 green cards for employment-based permanent residence

What Migrate Mate is not

We want to be upfront about this: Migrate Mate is a search and research tool, not a staffing agency. We don't place candidates in jobs, or guarantee employment. Your success still depends on your qualifications and how you present them. For complex immigration questions, we always recommend working with a qualified immigration attorney.

Why we built Migrate Mate

We created Migrate Mate after our co-founder experienced the visa sponsorship job search firsthand. As an Australian moving to the U.S., he spent months applying to hundreds of jobs on LinkedIn and Indeed, only to find that most employers didn't actually sponsor visas. The process was frustrating, time-consuming, and felt unnecessarily opaque.

We built Migrate Mate to fix that. Instead of guessing which employers sponsor, you can search a database of 500,000+ jobs where sponsorship is part of the picture from the start.

What you get with Migrate Mate

Visa-specific job search

Every listing on Migrate Mate is categorized by visa type. You can filter specifically for E-3 visa jobs, H-1B visa sponsorship jobs, OPT/CPT positions, TN visa roles, or any other visa category. On general job boards, "visa sponsorship available" is often a checkbox that doesn't mean much. On Migrate Mate, visa sponsorship is the entire point.

Employer sponsorship history

For most listings, we show how many visas a company has sponsored in the past year, drawn from government disclosure data. This helps you focus on employers with a proven track record.

Direct hiring manager contacts

For each listing, we provide verified contact information for the relevant hiring manager or immigration coordinator where available. This is one of the features our users value most, it lets you reach the right person directly instead of hoping your application makes it through an automated tracking system.

Salary transparency

Most listings include salary ranges. For H-1B candidates, this is strategically important: under the wage-weighted lottery system, higher salaries mean more lottery entries. Knowing the salary upfront helps you target roles at wage levels that improve your selection odds.

What Migrate “mates” say

We think the best way to judge whether Migrate Mate is legit is to hear from people who've actually used it. Here are some real reviews from Trustpilot:

"This week I moved to the USA from Australia thanks to Migrate Mate. I'm so happy with the site because I found my job through it."

"Tried LinkedIn for months, kept getting ghosted once I mentioned needing visa sponsorship. Every job I saw on Migrate Mate was visa-friendly from the start. Way less stress, way more actual responses."

"I was laid off a month ago while on an H-1B so I've been stressed with my short grace period to find a new job. I've had a few interviews through Migrate Mate and none through LinkedIn or Indeed."

"I'm an international student and have been looking for graduate jobs for a while at companies that'll sponsor me on an H-1B after my OPT ends. The database is exactly what I've been looking for."

"Worth buying! I wasn't sure if Migrate Mate was real or not but I'm so glad I tried it out. It is legit and the whole database is insane."

We're rated 4.4/5 on Trustpilot. Not every review is five stars, and we think that's a sign of honest feedback.

Who Migrate Mate is for

The platform is used by a wide range of international professionals:

• International students on F-1 OPT/CPT looking for employers who will sponsor H-1B after graduation
• Australian professionals searching for E-3 visa jobs in the U.S.
• Canadian and Mexican professionals looking for TN visa opportunities
• H-1B candidates who want to target companies with strong sponsorship histories and favorable wage levels
• Professionals seeking green cards through EB-2 or EB-3 employment-based pathways

Whether you're already in the U.S. and transitioning from a student visa, or applying from overseas, the platform is designed to help you find employers who are ready to sponsor.
