    How this list is ranked

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.

Finance OPT Employers: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies hire the most OPT students?

Truist has the most, with 209 live OPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by JPMorganChase (136) and Bank of America (100). Across the 10 finance companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 1,006 live OPT jobs, updated daily.

Who is eligible for OPT?

F-1 students enrolled at a U.S. accredited college or university are eligible for OPT after completing their degree program. Students must apply through their Designated School Official and file Form I-765 with USCIS to receive an Employment Authorization Document. Work must relate directly to the student's field of study. Pre-completion OPT is also available before graduation, subject to hour limits set by USCIS.

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?

The OPT process is entirely student-driven: the employer does not file anything. Start by requesting a new I-20 from your Designated School Official recommending OPT, then file Form I-765 with USCIS to receive your Employment Authorization Document. Applications can be submitted up to 90 days before your program end date. Once your EAD arrives and your start date is reached, you can begin work in a role related to your field of study.
