Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization in User Researcher
Verify your CIP code before applying
User Researcher roles typically require degrees in computer science, information science, cognitive science, or psychology with a quantitative focus. Cross-check your transcript against the STEM Designated Degree Program List to confirm your CIP code qualifies before targeting roles.
Confirm E-Verify enrollment before accepting offers
Not every UX-focused company or research consultancy is enrolled in E-Verify. Search the E-Verify employer search tool directly to confirm enrollment status before advancing to final-round interviews or negotiating an offer.
Structure your I-983 around specific research methods
Vague training plans get rejected. List concrete learning objectives tied to usability testing, ethnographic research, or mixed-methods analysis. Your DSO and hiring manager must both sign off, so align the plan language with your actual job description.
Target research teams inside E-Verify-enrolled companies
Use Migrate Mate to filter User Researcher openings by employers already enrolled in E-Verify, so you're only applying to companies where your STEM OPT extension is immediately viable, not ones that need to enroll from scratch.
Flag cap-gap timing when your OPT expires mid-cycle
If your initial 12-month OPT ends before your STEM extension is approved, cap-gap protection can bridge the gap under a timely-filed application. Confirm the filing date with your DSO and notify your employer so your start date isn't delayed.
Use OFLC Wage Search to benchmark your offer's prevailing wage
User Researcher roles span multiple SOC codes depending on whether the work is classified as market research or UX. Run both relevant SOC codes through OFLC Wage Search before negotiating compensation to ensure your offer meets DOL wage requirements.

Find User Researcher JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does a User Researcher role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
It depends on your degree, not just the job title. User Researcher positions can qualify if your degree falls under an eligible STEM CIP code, such as computer science, information science, cognitive science, or a quantitative social science program. Check the STEM Designated Degree Program List maintained by USCIS and confirm the match with your DSO before applying.
What goes into an I-983 training plan for a User Researcher?
Your I-983 must describe specific, measurable learning goals tied to the research work you'll actually perform, such as developing usability testing protocols, conducting qualitative interviews, or applying statistical analysis to behavioral data. Generic descriptions like 'gaining industry experience' are insufficient. Both your employer and DSO must sign the plan, and it's updated if your role or responsibilities change materially.
How do I know if a User Researcher employer is enrolled in E-Verify?
E-Verify enrollment is required for any employer hiring a STEM OPT student. You can search the E-Verify employer search tool by company name before applying or accepting an offer. Startups and boutique research agencies are sometimes not enrolled, so confirm early, especially if the company has fewer than 50 employees. Enrollment takes days, but waiting until after an offer is signed creates unnecessary delays.
Where can I find User Researcher jobs that are open to STEM OPT candidates?
Migrate Mate lists User Researcher openings filtered for employers who are already enrolled in E-Verify, which eliminates the back-and-forth of confirming eligibility on your own. You can search by role, location, and authorization type to surface positions where your STEM OPT status is explicitly compatible with the employer's hiring process.
What happens to my STEM OPT authorization if my employer's E-Verify enrollment lapses?
If your employer loses E-Verify enrollment while you're on a STEM OPT extension, your work authorization is no longer valid for that employer. USCIS requires continuous enrollment throughout your extension period, not just at the time of filing. Report any change to your DSO immediately, as you may need to transfer to a new employer or apply for a different work authorization status.
