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.

Who is eligible for OPT?
OPT is available to F-1 students who have been enrolled full-time for at least one full academic year and have maintained valid F-1 status throughout. Students apply through their Designated School Official, who recommends the benefit in SEVIS, and then file Form I-765 with USCIS to receive an Employment Authorization Document. The job must relate directly to your field of study, and you may work for any eligible employer, 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 through OPT, you first request a recommendation from your Designated School Official, then file Form I-765 with USCIS to obtain an Employment Authorization Document. You can apply up to 90 days before your program end date. Once your EAD arrives and your authorized start date has passed, you can begin working for any employer whose role relates to your field of study, the employer's only step is to verify your EAD and confirm the role fits your degree area.
