  7. Editor’s note

    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 Solutions Architects: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies sponsor the most OPT visas for Solutions Architects?

NVIDIA has the most, with 24 live OPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Apple (5) and Boston Consulting Group (2). Across the 10 companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 56 live OPT jobs, updated daily.

Who is eligible for OPT?

F-1 students are eligible for OPT if they are enrolled at a Student and Exchange Visitor Program-authorized school, have maintained lawful F-1 status, and are applying for work directly related to their major field of study. Pre-completion OPT is available before graduation and post-completion OPT begins after. The standard authorization period is 12 months. Students must apply through their Designated School Official and file Form I-765 with USCIS before starting work.

Do solutions architects qualify for F-1 OPT as a specialty occupation?

Yes. Solutions architects 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?

Getting OPT does not involve any action from the employer. As an F-1 student, you request a new I-20 from your Designated School Official endorsing OPT, then file Form I-765 with USCIS to receive your Employment Authorization Document. Once you have the EAD in hand and your authorized start date has arrived, you can begin working in a role related to your field of study. The employer simply hires you the same way they would any authorized worker, no filing or registration is required on their part.
