- Use research and product analytics to validate concepts and shipped experiences and improve usability, adoption, engagement, and retention.
- Establish interaction patterns and design foundations that can scale as the network adds users, services, and partner integrations.
- Design AI-supported experiences that provide transparency, feedback, user control, and clear system limits.
- Raise the bar for interaction quality, visual craft, accessibility, and consistency through critique, design reviews, shared patterns, and mentorship.
About you
Basic qualifications:

- Track record of delivering end-to-end design solutions and shaping direction for workflow-heavy or customer-facing experiences.
- Strong product judgment and systems thinking, with the ability to balance customer needs, business goals, and technical constraints.
- Experience using research and product data to guide design decisions and validate outcomes.
- Understanding of accessibility and inclusive product design.
- Experience contributing to shared patterns, reusable frameworks, or design systems.
- Experience designing AI-enabled, adaptive, or other experiences requiring trust, transparency, feedback, and user control.
- Demonstrated use of AI in the design process for exploration, synthesis, prototyping, or execution.
- Strong proficiency with design and prototyping tools, along with the ability to adopt new tools and techniques.
- Excellent storytelling, presentation, and facilitation skills, with the ability to communicate complex ideas and build alignment across disciplines and levels.
- A portfolio demonstrating product thinking, design craft, and influence on outcomes.
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in human-computer interaction (HCI), design, computer science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Preferred qualifications:
- Experience designing mobile-first products for deskless, hourly, or frontline worker populations.
- Experience designing for multiple audiences or stakeholder groups, such as workers, employers, and service partners.
- Experience bringing new products, services, or major capabilities from early concepts toward launch, particularly within a 0-to-1 initiative.
- Experience with marketplace, e-commerce, or service-based products that connect users with third-party offerings.
- Experience in financial wellness, financial technology, health, workforce management, human resources, payroll, or related service areas.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as an UI UX Designer
Align your portfolio with PERM requirements
PERM requires your employer to document that the role demands a specific degree. Structure your portfolio to show specialized HCI or interaction design skills, not general creative work, so the job duties clearly justify the degree requirement at audit.
Target employers with established PERM workflows
Large technology, healthcare, and financial services firms file PERM petitions routinely and have in-house immigration counsel. Prioritize companies where a UI UX Designer role already exists in their workforce, since first-time sponsorships at smaller studios carry more recruitment risk.
Search green card sponsorship jobs on Migrate Mate
Filter by UI UX Designer roles at companies with active EB-2 and EB-3 filing history. Migrate Mate surfaces employers who have sponsored design professionals before, so you're not cold-applying to companies with no PERM experience.
Understand how prevailing wage affects your offer
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your role and location before filing the PERM. Check the OFLC Wage Search using SOC code 15-1255 to see what Level I through Level IV wages look like in your target city before negotiating.
Document your foreign credentials before the I-140 stage
If your design degree is from outside the U.S., get a credential evaluation completed before your employer files the I-140 petition. USCIS requires confirmation that your foreign qualification is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree in a relevant field.
Clarify the visa status bridge during PERM processing
PERM adjudication at DOL currently averages over a year for analyst review cases. Confirm with your employer that your H-1B visa or other nonimmigrant status can be maintained throughout the process, since gaps in work authorization will pause the sponsorship timeline.
Green Card UI UX Designer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a UI UX Designer role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
UI UX Designer positions typically qualify under EB-3 as skilled workers when they require a bachelor's degree in design, human-computer interaction, or a closely related field. EB-2 applies when the role requires an advanced degree or your employer can demonstrate that the position typically demands a master's degree or higher. The O*NET occupation profile for this role lists a bachelor's degree as the standard entry-level requirement, which supports EB-3 qualification in most PERM filings.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B sponsorship for UI UX Designers?
H-1B sponsorship is temporary and subject to an annual lottery cap, meaning your authorization ends when the visa period expires and you may not be selected. EB-2 and EB-3 green card sponsorship through PERM leads to permanent residency with no renewal requirement once approved. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM labor certification alone can take one to two years before USCIS even begins reviewing the I-140 petition, whereas H-1B approval can come within months. For nationals from countries without significant priority date backlogs at the EB-3 level, the permanent outcome is worth the longer wait.
What documentation do I need to support a UI UX Designer PERM application?
Your employer drives the PERM filing, but you'll need to supply your academic credentials, transcripts, and any credential evaluation if your degree is from outside the U.S. A professional portfolio demonstrating specialized design work strengthens the employer's case that the position genuinely requires a degreed professional. If you're claiming experience in lieu of a degree, you'll need letters from prior employers documenting the scope and duration of your design work, since PERM applies strict equivalency standards.
How do I find UI UX Designer jobs where the employer will sponsor a green card?
Search for UI UX Designer roles specifically at companies with a documented history of EB-2 and EB-3 filings. Migrate Mate lets you filter by employers who have sponsored design professionals for green cards before, which removes the guesswork of approaching companies with no PERM experience. Focus on technology firms, enterprise software companies, and healthcare organizations, since these industries file PERM petitions for design roles most frequently.
Can my employer start the PERM process while I'm on H-1B status?
Yes, and starting PERM early is strategically important. Filing PERM and eventually reaching an approved I-140 while you still have valid H-1B status protects your ability to extend H-1B beyond the standard six-year limit under AC21 portability rules. USCIS allows H-1B extensions in one-year increments once your PERM has been pending for 365 days, and three-year extensions once your I-140 is approved, even if your priority date is not yet current.
