    How this list is ranked

    These employers are ranked by how many roles open to STEM OPT candidates they have live on Migrate Mate right now. STEM 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 STEM OPT before.

How STEM OPT works

STEM OPT is a 24-month extension of OPT for students with an eligible STEM degree. The student applies through their DSO and USCIS; the employer does not file a petition but must be enrolled in E-Verify and sign a Form I-983 training plan. The role must relate to the STEM degree, and pay must be commensurate with similarly situated U.S. workers.

Remote STEM OPT Employers: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies hire the most STEM OPT students?

Jobot has the most, with 25 live STEM OPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Johns Hopkins University (19) and Canonical (12). Across the 10 companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 103 live STEM OPT jobs, updated daily.

Who is eligible for STEM OPT?

F-1 students are eligible for the 24-month STEM OPT extension if they have completed their initial 12-month OPT period, hold a degree in a STEM-designated field under the DHS CIP code list, and have a job offer from an E-Verify enrolled employer whose role directly relates to that degree field. The employer must be willing to sign Form I-983, the formal training plan submitted to the student's designated school official.

How much does F-1 STEM OPT cost?

F-1 STEM 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 STEM OPT through a top employer?

To work for one of these employers on STEM OPT, confirm the employer is E-Verify enrolled and ask them to complete Form I-983, your individualized training plan. Your designated school official then recommends the STEM OPT extension in SEVIS, and you file Form I-765 with USCIS, which can be submitted up to 90 days before your current EAD expires. Once USCIS approves the extension, you receive a new EAD authorizing 24 additional months of work with that employer.
