    How this list is ranked

    These employers are ranked by how many roles open to OPT candidates they have live on Migrate Mate right now. OPT is your own work authorization rather than something the employer files, so the practical question is whether the role fits your field of study and whether the team has hired people on OPT before.

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.

Insurance OPT Employers: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies hire the most OPT students?

CVS Health has the most, with 1,269 live OPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by State Farm (507) and USI Insurance Services (413). Across the 10 insurance companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 2,776 live OPT jobs, updated daily.

Who is eligible for OPT?

F-1 students who have completed at least one full academic year at a Student and Exchange Visitor Program-certified school are eligible for OPT. The work must be directly related to the student's field of study. Pre-completion OPT is available before graduation, and post-completion OPT authorizes up to 12 months of full-time work after graduation. Students with STEM degrees may qualify for a 24-month extension.

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 student, not the employer, initiates OPT by requesting a new Form I-20 with a DSO OPT recommendation, then filing Form I-765 with USCIS to obtain an Employment Authorization Document. The employer does not file any forms. Once the EAD arrives, the student can begin working in a role related to their field of study. Applying at least 90 days before the intended start date is advisable given USCIS processing times.
