How OPT works
OPT is work authorization for F-1 students, not an employer-sponsored visa. The student applies through their school's international office (the DSO) and USCIS with Form I-765; the employer files nothing. The role must relate to the student's field of study. OPT gives up to 12 months of work authorization, with a 24-month STEM extension for eligible degrees.

Which companies hire the most OPT students?
Mohawk Industries has the most, with 66 live OPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Hyosung (29) and Fabletics Inc. (28). Across the 10 fashion and apparel companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 226 live OPT jobs, updated daily.
Who is eligible for OPT?
F-1 students are eligible for OPT if they have been enrolled full-time at a Student and Exchange Visitor Program-certified school for at least one full academic year. OPT authorizes 12 months of work in a role directly related to the student's field of study. Students who graduated in a qualifying STEM field may apply for a 24-month STEM OPT extension, bringing total OPT work authorization to 36 months.
How much does F-1 OPT cost?
F-1 OPT is student work authorization, so there is no employer sponsorship fee. The student pays the USCIS filing fee for the work-authorization application, plus any costs their school charges. Fee amounts change from time to time, so check the current figure before you rely on it.
How do I get OPT through a top employer?
Getting OPT authorization starts with your Designated School Official, not your employer. Your DSO adds an OPT recommendation to your SEVIS record, then you file Form I-765 with USCIS to receive your Employment Authorization Document. Once you receive your EAD, you can begin working for any employer in a role that relates to your degree field. Your employer does not file any paperwork, they simply hire you and verify your EAD as proof of work authorization.
