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.

Transportation and Logistics OPT Employers: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies hire the most OPT students?

INSIGHT has the most, with 46 live OPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Nuro (27) and Kiewit (22). Across the 10 transportation and logistics companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 207 live OPT jobs, updated daily.

Who is eligible for OPT?

F-1 students who have been enrolled full-time for at least one academic year at a Student and Exchange Visitor Program-approved school are eligible to apply for OPT. The work must be directly related to the student's major field of study. Standard OPT provides 12 months of work authorization, and students in qualifying STEM fields may be eligible for a 24-month extension after the initial period.

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?

OPT authorization is obtained through your school, not through the employer. Start by requesting a new I-20 from your Designated School Official recommending OPT, then file Form I-765 with USCIS. Apply at least 90 days before your desired start date, since processing takes time and your Employment Authorization Document must arrive before you begin work. Once you have your authorization, the employer simply hires you, they do not file any paperwork to authorize your OPT status.
