H-1B1 Chile Visa UX Designer Jobs
UX Designer jobs with H-1B1 Chile visa sponsorship don't require a lottery or a USCIS petition. Chilean nationals apply directly at a U.S. consulate under the U.S.-Chile Free Trade Agreement, and the 1,400-visa annual cap has historically gone unfilled, so timing is rarely an obstacle for qualified designers.

About the role
The Senior Designer is responsible for owning and shaping the end-to-end customer experience for two brands, ensuring a cohesive and effective journey across discovery, browsing, product evaluation, purchase, and post-purchase engagement. Serving as a trusted strategic partner to brand leadership, merchandising, and creative teams, the individual will help define problems, guide decision-making, and advocate for customer needs while balancing business objectives, brand differentiation, and experience consistency. Working closely with product management, engineering, and fellow design leaders, the role will drive high-impact initiatives across multiple value streams and contribute to decisions on shared and brand-specific experiences within the design system framework. As a hands-on design practitioner, the successful candidate will lead design, prototyping, testing, and delivery efforts while leveraging AI-enabled tools to accelerate innovation, generate insights, and deliver measurable business and customer outcomes with speed, quality, and sound professional judgment.
- Lead design for two of our brands across their end-to-end customer journeys. Own the highest-leverage journeys yourself and keep your brands current on everything else
- Be the primary design partner to brand leadership. Build the relationships that get design into the conversation early, and be a thought partner in framing the problem rather than only in delivering the solution
- Work with the other brand journey leads to decide what is shared across brands and what stays brand-distinct, inside the design system’s framework
- Partner with Product Management and Engineering in the value streams through ideation, conceptualization, planning, and delivery. Drive the work when an initiative spans value streams for your brands
- Design the work. Carry your brands’ most important journeys from problem framing through to launch
- Run continuous discovery. Interview customers, build prototypes, and test with real people so that concepts are validated before build
- Balance scope, business impact, fidelity, and delivery speed, and say plainly when a trade-off has consequences for the customer
- Bring an evidenced point of view. Partner with UX Research on what gets studied, and use data and research to make and defend design decisions
- Design within the design system and contribute patterns back to it. Know when a brand-distinct choice is warranted and make the case for it
- Design for accessibility, trust, and compliance from the start rather than as a check at the end
- Present to varied audiences and facilitate with senior stakeholders. Articulate insights and the reasoning behind design decisions, manage expectations, and bring partners with different views to alignment
- Think across channels. Connect digital, store, and emerging channel experiences into coherent journeys, and apply service design methods where journeys cross system and organizational boundaries
- Follow your work through to its result. Connect what shipped to conversion, engagement, and retention, and use the outcome to decide what comes next
- Use AI to move faster on exploration, synthesis, and production, and be clear about where it helped and where it did not
- Mentor designers earlier in their career, share what you learn, and help raise the craft of the team
Who you are
- Substantial experience designing consumer-facing digital commerce experiences, with a portfolio that shows end-to-end journey thinking rather than a collection of screens
- An established practitioner with subject matter expertise in your craft: interaction design, information architecture, prototyping, and visual execution
- Experienced as the design partner to brand, marketing, merchandising, or creative stakeholders. You can hold a point of view with senior partners and build trust with people who did not ask for a designer in the room
- Comfortable working inside a product operating model, partnering with Product Management and Engineering rather than receiving requirements from them
- A clear perspective on brand-differentiated design within a shared platform. You can say when consistency serves the customer and when brand expression must take priority
- Fluent in research methods. You know which question needs which method, you can run the lightweight ones yourself, and you know when to bring in a researcher
- A systems thinker drawn to journeys rather than screens. You are interested in service design and experience strategy, and you can see how a decision in one journey stage lands in another
- Data-informed. You can connect a design decision to a metric, and you follow up to see what actually happened
- Hands-on and fast. You are energized by velocity and you use AI to get to evidence sooner without lowering the bar
- A clear communicator. You explain the reasoning behind your point of view, and you change it when the evidence says so
- Collaborative and candid. You give and receive direct feedback well, and you make the people around you better
- Ready for more scope than you have held before, and open to coaching. This role stretches beyond a typical senior designer remit, and you will have an experienced brand journey lead alongside you as you grow into it
- Comfortable with ambiguity, with more than one brand in play, and with work that is delivered alongside partner teams
Salary Range: $145,100.00 - $188,600.00
Employee pay will vary based on factors such as qualifications, experience, skill level, competencies and work location. We will meet minimum wage or minimum of the pay range (whichever is higher) based on city, county and state requirements.
Benefits at Gap Inc.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a UX Designer
Align your portfolio to specialty occupation
The H-1B1 visa requires your role to qualify as a specialty occupation, meaning a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. Frame portfolio case studies around systems thinking, information architecture, or HCI to reinforce the degree-to-role connection consular officers evaluate.
Use O*NET to anchor your job title
Pull the O*NET occupation profile for UX Designer before your employer drafts the job description. Matching your actual duties to the O*NET task list strengthens the specialty occupation argument in the LCA and at the consulate interview.
Target employers with existing LCA filing history
Employers who have filed LCAs for UX or product design roles already understand the H-1B1 process. Search Migrate Mate to filter for companies with verified H-1B1 Chile sponsorship history so you're not educating a hiring team from scratch.
Verify prevailing wage before accepting an offer
Your employer's offered salary must meet or exceed the DOL prevailing wage for your specific SOC code and work location. Run the OFLC Wage Search for UX Designer roles in your city before negotiating, so you can confirm the offer qualifies before the LCA is filed.
Request LCA certification before your consulate appointment
Unlike H-1B visa, there's no USCIS petition, but the LCA must be DOL-certified before you attend your consulate interview. Confirm with your employer that the certified LCA is in hand at least a week before your appointment date.
Prepare for nonimmigrant intent questions as a UX professional
The H-1B1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa, so consular officers may probe your ties to Chile. Document active professional affiliations, property, or family connections at home. Chilean designers with open-ended employer contracts should be especially prepared to address this.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a UX Designer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B1 Chile visa?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as human-computer interaction, interaction design, cognitive science, or a comparable discipline. Roles where any general degree is accepted regardless of field are harder to qualify. Your employer's job description should tie the degree requirement to the specific design work performed.
How does the H-1B1 Chile visa differ from H-1B for UX Designer roles?
The H-1B1 Chile has no lottery and no USCIS petition. You apply directly at a U.S. consulate, and the 1,400-visa annual cap has never been fully used. The tradeoff is that the H-1B1 doesn't allow dual intent, so demonstrating nonimmigrant intent matters more. For UX designers who want to start working quickly without lottery uncertainty, the H-1B1 is a faster path.
How do I find employers who have sponsored H-1B1 Chile visas for UX roles?
Search Migrate Mate to identify companies with verified H-1B1 Chile LCA filing history in design and product roles. Targeting employers with prior sponsorship experience means your hiring team already understands the consular process, which reduces back-and-forth during the offer and filing stages.
What documents does my employer need to prepare for my H-1B1 Chile visa application?
Your employer files a Labor Condition Application with the DOL and receives a certified LCA before your consulate appointment. They also provide a support letter confirming the job offer, your title, duties, and salary. You bring the certified LCA, the offer letter, your degree credentials, and a completed DS-160 to the interview.
Can I switch UX Designer jobs while on an H-1B1 Chile visa?
Yes, but you can't port the way you can on H-1B. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL, and you'll typically need to return to the consulate for a new visa stamp tied to the new employer. Plan for a gap between roles, since H-1B1 visa doesn't carry the same portability protections as H-1B status.
