    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.

OPT Employers for Business Analysts: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies sponsor the most OPT visas for Business Analysts?

State Farm has the most, with 1 live OPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by JPMorganChase (269) and Amazon.com (110). Across the 10 companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 874 live OPT jobs, updated daily.

Who is eligible for OPT?

F-1 students who have been enrolled full-time for at least one academic year are eligible to apply for OPT. The work must be directly related to the student's field of study. OPT provides up to 12 months of work authorization, and students in qualifying STEM fields may apply for a 24-month extension. The student applies through their Designated School Official and files Form I-765 with USCIS, the employer does not file anything.

Do business analysts qualify for F-1 OPT as a specialty occupation?

Yes. Business analysts typically hold a bachelor's degree in a specific field, which is exactly the specialty-occupation standard F-1 OPT is built around. What matters is that the employer classifies the role under a matching occupation code and that your degree lines up with it.

How do I get OPT through a top employer?

Accept a job offer from an employer whose role relates to your field of study, then request an updated I-20 with an OPT recommendation from your Designated School Official. Submit Form I-765 to USCIS along with supporting documents. Wait for your Employment Authorization Document to arrive before your start date, you cannot begin work without it. The employer reviews your authorization documents upon hire but does not submit any application on your behalf.
