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.

Which companies sponsor the most OPT visas for Cloud Engineers?
NVIDIA has the most, with 24 live OPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Apple (8) and Boston Consulting Group (2). Across the 10 companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 73 live OPT jobs, updated daily.
Who is eligible for OPT?
F-1 students who have maintained valid student status, completed at least one academic year at an accredited U.S. institution, and are working or have accepted a job offer in a field directly related to their major are eligible for OPT. Students apply through their Designated School Official and submit Form I-765 to USCIS. OPT authorization lasts up to 12 months, and STEM graduates may qualify for a 24-month extension.
Do cloud engineers qualify for F-1 OPT as a specialty occupation?
Yes. Cloud engineers 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?
OPT is authorized through your school, not your employer. Start by requesting an OPT recommendation from your Designated School Official, who updates your SEVIS record. You then file Form I-765 with USCIS and wait for your Employment Authorization Document to arrive. Once you receive your EAD, you can begin working for any employer whose role relates to your field of study, the employer does not file any paperwork to bring you on.
