H-1B Visa Information Security Intern Jobs
Information Security Intern roles at H-1B-sponsoring employers sit at the intersection of hands-on technical work and strict visa compliance requirements. Sponsors must file a Labor Condition Application with the DOL before petitioning USCIS, and internship-to-full-time conversion timelines directly affect whether your H-1B cap-gap coverage kicks in before October 1.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as an Information Security Intern
Align your degree to SOC codes
Information security internships are typically classified under SOC 15-1212 or 15-1299. Pull the O*NET profile for your target role and confirm your degree field matches the listed education requirements before applying.
Verify E-Verify enrollment before accepting offers
STEM OPT authorization requires your employer to be enrolled in E-Verify. Confirm enrollment status during the offer stage, not after signing, so your 24-month STEM extension isn't delayed by a missing employer registration.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter for companies with verified H-1B Labor Condition Application filings in information security roles, so you're only applying to employers who have already navigated DOL prevailing-wage certification for this occupation.
Check prevailing wage before negotiating compensation
Run the OFLC Wage Search for your target SOC code and work location before your offer conversation. Your employer's LCA must certify wages at or above the DOL prevailing wage, which sets a real floor on what you can negotiate.
Document security clearance compatibility early
Some federal contractor information security internships require or lead to clearance eligibility, which H-1B holders can pursue but with added adjudication time. Ask the recruiter whether the role is clearance-required before the petition is filed.

Find Information Security Intern JobsInformation Security Intern H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Can an employer sponsor an H-1B for an information security intern role?
Yes, but the position must qualify as a specialty occupation, meaning it requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field like computer science, cybersecurity, or information systems. An internship title alone doesn't disqualify the role. What matters to USCIS is whether the duties require theoretical and practical application of highly specialized knowledge.
Does an information security intern role qualify for STEM OPT extension?
It depends on the SOC code your employer uses on the LCA. Roles classified under SOC 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) are on the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List. Confirm the classification with your employer before your OPT end date, and ensure your employer is enrolled in E-Verify, which is required for STEM extension authorization.
How do I find information security internships at employers who actually sponsor H-1B visas?
Migrate Mate surfaces employers with verified DOL Labor Condition Application filing history in information security occupations, so you can filter by role and see which companies have already completed the LCA certification process. This is more reliable than filtering by company size or industry, since H-1B sponsorship history is the actual signal.
What happens if my information security internship converts to a full-time role during H-1B cap season?
If your OPT is still valid when your employer files the H-1B petition in April, cap-gap rules protect your authorization through September 30. If you're on STEM OPT, that extension also counts toward cap-gap. Your employer must file before your OPT end date for cap-gap to apply, so conversion timing relative to the April filing window matters significantly.
Are federal contractor information security internships harder to get sponsored for an H-1B?
The H-1B petition process itself is the same, but some federal contractor roles require security clearances that add complexity for nonimmigrant visa holders. Clearances aren't automatically denied for H-1B holders, but adjudication timelines are longer and outcomes vary by agency. Confirm clearance requirements and the employer's experience sponsoring H-1B holders in cleared roles before accepting an offer.
