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 hire the most OPT students?
Optum has the most, with 232 live OPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Atrium Health (214) and CVS Health (204). Across the 10 companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 1,351 live OPT jobs, updated daily.
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. You must apply through your Designated School Official, who updates your SEVIS record and supports your Form I-765 filing with USCIS. Authorization lasts 12 months, and every role you accept must relate directly to your field of study. Your 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 on OPT, contact your school's Designated School Official before your program ends or program end date, request an OPT recommendation in SEVIS, then file Form I-765 with USCIS to receive your Employment Authorization Document. Once your EAD arrives with an authorized start date, you can begin working for any employer whose role relates to your degree field. The employer simply hires you, no filing or government application is required on their part.
