H-1B Visa Functional Analyst Jobs
Functional Analyst roles qualify as H-1B visa specialty occupations because they require at least a bachelor's degree in information systems, computer science, or a related field. Employers file the Labor Condition Application before your petition, certifying the prevailing wage for your specific work location. No lottery exemptions apply, but cap-exempt employers like universities and nonprofits can sponsor year-round.

The Opportunity
We are looking for a hands-on Oracle HCM Cloud Techno-Functional Consultant with proven end-to-end implementation experience in Payroll and Time and Labor. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable configuring functional processes and writing technical code, including Fast Formulas, HCM Extracts, and BI Publisher reports. Exposure to additional Oracle HCM modules such as Performance Management, Learning, Benefits, and Absence Management is a strong plus.
This role requires a true techno-functional profile — someone who can gather requirements, design solutions, configure the application, and also build the underlying technical artifacts needed to support go-live and ongoing operations.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end Oracle HCM Cloud implementations and enhancements, with primary responsibility for Payroll and Time & Labor solutions.
- Partner with business stakeholders to gather requirements, design scalable solutions, and translate business needs into functional and technical specifications.
- Configure, develop, and support Oracle HCM capabilities, including Payroll, Time & Labor, Fast Formulas, HCM Extracts, reporting, integrations, and workflow automation.
- Design and maintain reporting, analytics, data migration, and integration solutions using Oracle HCM tools, APIs, and related technologies.
- Provide production support, testing leadership, troubleshooting, documentation, and continuous improvement while collaborating across HR, IT, and vendor teams.
Required Qualifications
- Deep hands-on Oracle HCM Cloud experience with at least one full-cycle, end-to-end implementation of Payroll and Time & Labor, including requirements gathering, solution design, configuration, testing, deployment, and post-go-live support; strong expertise in configuring Payroll (elements, balances, payroll definitions, costing, and statutory setups) and Time & Labor (time entry rules, calculation cards, time categories, and approval rules), complemented by a deep understanding of Oracle HCM data models, security, and business process configuration.
- Proven experience developing and supporting Fast Formulas, HCM Extracts, reporting and analytics solutions, including OTBI and BI Publisher, to meet business, compliance, and integration requirements.
- Technical proficiency with HDL, HSDL, and related Oracle Cloud technologies, along with working knowledge of Agent Builder for intelligent automation and AI-enabled workflows.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to work independently in a hands-on capacity while effectively partnering with business stakeholders, HR teams, and technical teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- 7+ years of hands-on experience with Oracle HCM Cloud or related technologies.
- Experience designing and supporting payroll integrations with third-party providers (e.g., ADP), along with exposure to Oracle Cloud release management and testing cycles.
- Experience with additional Oracle HCM modules, including Performance Management, Learning, Benefits, and Absence Management.
- Technical experience working with SOAP/ Rest APIs and Unix Shell scripting.
- Oracle HCM Cloud certifications in Payroll, Time & Labor, or related modules.
Location Expectation: This is a hybrid role requiring a minimum of 3 days per week in office.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Functional Analyst
Map your degree to the role
USCIS requires a direct-field connection between your degree and the Functional Analyst position. A business analysis or information systems degree aligns cleanly. A general business degree may trigger an RFE, so prepare a course-by-course credential evaluation before applying.
Use the OFLC Wage Search to benchmark pay
Look up the prevailing wage for Functional Analyst under SOC code 15-1212 at your target work location before negotiating an offer. Your employer's LCA must certify at least that wage level, so knowing it prevents surprises during filing.
Target employers with cap-exempt status first
Universities, university-affiliated research organizations, and qualifying nonprofits can file H-1B petitions outside the annual lottery. Functional Analyst roles in higher education IT and research settings are a direct path to sponsorship without waiting for an April registration window.
Search Migrate Mate for verified LCA filing history
Filter Functional Analyst roles on Migrate Mate by employers who have active LCA filings in your target city. This surfaces companies with a documented history of sponsoring this specific occupation, not just general H-1B filers.
Clarify remote work arrangements before the LCA is filed
If your role includes any remote work outside the certified work location, your employer must file a new LCA or an amended I-129. Raise this before the petition is submitted, not after, to avoid costly amendments or compliance violations.
Request premium processing when your start date is fixed
USCIS adjudicates I-129 petitions under premium processing within 15 business days. If your employer has a project-driven start date or you're transferring from another visa status, premium processing reduces the risk of gaps in authorized employment.
H-1B Visa Functional Analyst: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Functional Analyst role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, Functional Analyst positions qualify when the role requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as information systems, computer science, or business analysis. USCIS evaluates both the job duties and the degree requirement stated in the offer letter. Roles that accept any bachelor's degree regardless of field are harder to defend as specialty occupations, so the job description matters.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for Functional Analyst positions?
Employers across enterprise software, healthcare IT, financial services, and government contracting regularly file LCAs for Functional Analyst roles. Cap-exempt organizations, including universities and nonprofit research institutions, can file outside the lottery. Migrate Mate filters Functional Analyst openings by verified LCA filing history, so you can identify active sponsors by location and industry without guessing.
What SOC code does USCIS use for Functional Analyst H-1B petitions?
Most Functional Analyst roles are filed under SOC code 15-1212, Software Quality Assurance Analysts and Testers, or 13-1111, Management Analysts, depending on job duties. The SOC code determines the prevailing wage tier your employer must certify on the LCA. Misalignment between job duties and SOC code is a common RFE trigger, so confirm the code with your employer before the LCA is submitted to DOL.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new Functional Analyst role at a different employer?
Yes. Under H-1B portability rules, you can start working for a new employer as soon as they file a non-frivolous I-129 transfer petition, provided your current H-1B was lawfully approved and you've maintained valid status. The new employer must file a fresh LCA for your new work location and role before submitting the petition to USCIS.
How does remote work affect H-1B sponsorship for Functional Analyst roles?
Each work location where you perform services must be covered by a certified LCA. If you work remotely from a city not listed on your original LCA, your employer is required to file an amended I-129 with a new LCA covering that location. This applies even for short-term assignments. Confirm your work location details with your employer's immigration counsel before any remote arrangement begins.
