- 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

- 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.

- 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:

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as an UI UX Developer
Align your portfolio to specialty occupation standards
USCIS evaluates whether your role requires a specific degree, not just design skills. Frame your portfolio around deliverables that demonstrate theoretical application of HCI, cognitive psychology, or information architecture to strengthen the specialty occupation argument in your petition.
Check prevailing wages before accepting an offer
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing level for your SOC code and metro area. Use the OFLC Wage Search to verify the wage tier before your offer letter is finalized, so there are no surprises at filing.
Target employers enrolled in E-Verify early
E-Verify enrollment is a federal requirement for H-1B sponsors. Filtering for E-Verify-enrolled companies before outreach saves time and signals a employer already familiar with sponsorship compliance. Migrate Mate surfaces employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history so you can focus your search there.
Understand how job title affects your LCA classification
Titles like 'UI Developer' and 'UX Researcher' map to different SOC codes, which changes your prevailing wage requirement. Confirm the exact job title your employer plans to use on the LCA before the offer is drafted, since mismatches between the title and duties can trigger an RFE.
Request premium processing if your start date is fixed
Standard H-1B adjudication can run several months. If your employer needs you on a specific date, ask them to file with USCIS premium processing, which guarantees a decision within 15 business days and protects against start-date gaps that would affect your first paycheck.
Document your degree equivalency before the petition
If your design or HCI degree is from outside the U.S., get a credential evaluation completed before your employer files. USCIS accepts evaluations from recognized agencies, and having it ready at filing prevents delays that could push your start date past the cap-subject October 1 window.
H-1B Visa UI UX Developer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a UI UX Developer role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the position genuinely requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as human-computer interaction, computer science, or graphic design. The key is that the degree requirement must be tied to the role itself, not just preferred. Roles that accept any bachelor's degree regardless of field are harder to defend as specialty occupations, so the job description matters.
How do I find employers who actively sponsor H-1B visas for UI UX roles?
The most reliable method is searching DOL LCA disclosure data, which shows every employer that has filed a Labor Condition Application for a given occupation. Migrate Mate compiles this data and filters it by job title, so you can browse UI UX Developer roles specifically at companies with a real H-1B filing history rather than guessing based on company size or reputation.
Which SOC code applies to UI UX Developer positions for LCA purposes?
It depends on the role's primary function. Positions focused on interaction design and user research typically fall under Web and Digital Interface Designers (SOC 15-1255), while roles with heavier front-end development responsibilities may be classified under Software Developers (SOC 15-1252). The SOC code your employer selects determines the prevailing wage level required on the LCA, so it's worth confirming before the offer is drafted. O*NET has detailed task profiles for both occupations.
Can my employer file my H-1B petition before my OPT expires?
Yes, and the timing is critical. H-1B cap-subject petitions can only be filed for an October 1 start date, so your employer must file during the April filing window. If your OPT expires before October 1 and you were selected in the lottery, the cap-gap rule extends your OPT authorization automatically through September 30, letting you keep working without a gap.
What happens to my H-1B status if I change employers or get laid off?
H-1B status is employer-specific, so a layoff or job change triggers the 60-day grace period during which you must either find a new sponsoring employer, change to another status, or leave the U.S. Your new employer must file an H-1B transfer petition with USCIS before you start working for them. You can begin work as soon as the transfer petition is received, not just approved, under portability rules.
