How to Get Visa Sponsorship in Amazon Web Services Aws
Confirm your role qualifies for STEM OPT
AWS positions in software engineering, data science, and cloud architecture typically qualify for the 24-month STEM OPT extension. Verify your CIP code matches your job duties before accepting an offer to protect your extension eligibility.
Apply before your OPT start date
AWS hiring timelines can run 8 to 12 weeks from application to offer. Start applying at least three months before your current authorization expires to avoid working under an expired EAD while waiting on paperwork.
Target AWS teams with E-Verify enrollment
STEM OPT extension requires your employer to be enrolled in E-Verify. Amazon and AWS are enrolled, but confirm the specific legal entity on your offer letter matches the enrolled entity your DSO uses for your I-983 training plan.
Prepare your I-983 training plan early
AWS will need to complete your I-983 before your STEM extension is approved. Bring a draft to your onboarding meeting that maps your specific AWS role duties to your degree program's learning objectives to speed up the process.
Track your 90-day unemployment limit carefully
Any gap between AWS roles or between OPT approval and your start date counts against your 90-day unemployment cap. Keep your DSO updated on start dates, role changes, and any delays to avoid unintentional status violations.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Can I work at Amazon Web Services on OPT?
Yes. AWS roles in software engineering, cloud architecture, data science, and related technical fields are eligible for both standard 12-month OPT and the 24-month STEM OPT extension if your degree qualifies. AWS is enrolled in E-Verify, which is required for the STEM extension. Confirm your specific CIP code and job duties align with your degree field before your DSO files the extension.
Does AWS sponsor H-1B visas for OPT employees?
AWS is one of the largest H-1B sponsors in the United States and regularly files petitions for OPT employees transitioning to long-term status. Sponsorship is not guaranteed and depends on your team, role, and performance, but AWS has a well-established process. Ask about team-level sponsorship norms during your offer discussions, and use Migrate Mate to find AWS roles that are actively hiring OPT candidates.
What AWS job titles qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Software development engineers, solutions architects, data engineers, machine learning scientists, security engineers, and cloud support engineers are among the roles that commonly qualify. The key requirement is that your job duties connect directly to a STEM-designated degree field. Review your CIP code with your DSO and compare it against your AWS job description before applying for the extension.
How does the I-983 training plan work for an AWS role?
Your I-983 is a formal document your employer co-signs that describes how your AWS role provides practical training related to your degree program. AWS HR or your direct manager will typically complete the employer sections. Bring a draft to onboarding that maps your specific duties to your degree's learning objectives. Your DSO submits it to SEVIS as part of your STEM OPT extension application.
What should I do if my AWS start date is delayed?
Contact your DSO immediately if your AWS start date changes. Any period where you are not employed and not in a grace period counts toward your 90-day OPT unemployment cap. If the delay pushes your start past your EAD expiration, you may need to request a cap-gap extension or explore other authorization options. Do not wait until the last minute to report changes to your DSO.
