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.

JPMorganChase has the most, with 126 live OPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by University of California Berkeley (83) and CBRE (80). Across the 10 investment firms on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 667 live OPT jobs, updated daily.
Who is eligible for OPT?
F-1 students who have been enrolled full-time for at least one full academic year at a U.S. college or university are eligible for OPT. Authorization covers 12 months of work in a role directly related to your field of study. STEM-designated degree holders may apply for a 24-month extension. You apply through your Designated School Official and USCIS, the employer does not file anything on your behalf.
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?
To work at one of these firms on OPT, first secure a job offer in a role related to your field of study. Then request a new I-20 with an OPT recommendation from your Designated School Official, and file Form I-765 with USCIS to obtain your Employment Authorization Document. You may not begin work until your EAD arrives and your OPT start date is reached. The employer reviews your EAD and completes standard I-9 employment eligibility verification, no separate employer filing is required.
