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?
Canonical has the most, with 58 live OPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by CorVel Corporation (51) and Veeva Systems (31). Across the 10 remote tech companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 243 live OPT jobs, updated daily.
Who is eligible for OPT?
F-1 students who have completed at least one full academic year at a Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)-certified school are eligible for OPT. Authorization covers 12 months of full-time work in a role directly related to your major field of study. Students who graduated in a qualifying STEM field may apply for a 24-month extension, bringing total OPT authorization to 36 months. You apply through your Designated School Official (DSO) and USCIS, not through the employer.
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 start OPT, work with your Designated School Official at least 90 days before your intended start date. Your DSO will update your record in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System and issue a new I-20 recommending OPT. You then file Form I-765 with USCIS to receive your Employment Authorization Document. Once your EAD arrives with an approved start date, you can begin working for any employer whose role relates to your field of study, the employer does not file anything or need to take any action to authorize your employment.
