Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization in Amazon Web Services Aws
Verify your CIP code before applying
Your STEM OPT extension depends on your degree's Classification of Instructional Programs code mapping to an approved STEM field. Check your DSO's records against the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List before targeting AWS roles to confirm eligibility.
Confirm E-Verify enrollment before accepting
AWS must be actively enrolled in E-Verify for your STEM OPT extension to be authorized. Cross-check enrollment status directly through the E-Verify employer search tool before you sign any offer letter.
Target cloud and ML job codes strategically
AWS posts roles under SOC codes like Software Developers, Cloud Architects, and Data Scientists. Use O*NET to match your degree field to the specific occupation code for your target role, which your DSO needs for the I-983 training plan.
File your I-983 training plan before day one
Your I-983 must be signed by both you and an authorized AWS representative before your STEM OPT extension start date. Late submission creates an authorization gap, so initiate the training plan conversation during the offer negotiation stage.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified STEM OPT roles
Searching broadly across AWS job listings wastes time if the hiring team isn't set up for STEM OPT. Migrate Mate filters for employers with confirmed E-Verify enrollment so your applications land where your work authorization is already understood.
Understand cap-gap protection if H-1B is filed
If AWS files an H-1B visa petition on your behalf before your OPT expires, cap-gap rules through USCIS automatically extend your work authorization until October 1. Your EAD alone doesn't cover this period, so carry both your EAD and cap-gap documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does AWS need to be enrolled in E-Verify for me to work there on STEM OPT?
Yes. E-Verify enrollment is a hard legal requirement for STEM OPT, not a preference. Your employer must be enrolled and in good standing with E-Verify throughout your entire STEM OPT extension period. Before accepting an AWS offer, confirm enrollment through the E-Verify employer search tool. If enrollment lapses at any point during your extension, your work authorization is at risk.
Which STEM degrees qualify me for the 24-month STEM OPT extension at an AWS role?
Your degree must appear on the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List and carry an approved CIP code. Degrees in computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, statistics, and information systems are commonly eligible. Your DSO at your university verifies your specific CIP code and recommends the STEM OPT extension in SEVIS. A degree in a non-STEM field, even for a highly technical AWS role, does not qualify.
What goes into the I-983 training plan for an AWS position?
The I-983 requires a detailed description of how your AWS role provides practical training directly related to your STEM degree. It must include your job duties, the skills you'll develop, learning objectives tied to your coursework, and a supervision structure. An authorized AWS representative co-signs the form. USCIS requires you to submit it to your DSO before your extension start date, and AWS must conduct formal performance evaluations every six months.
How do cap-gap rules apply if AWS files an H-1B petition for me?
If your OPT EAD expires between April 1 and October 1 and AWS timely files an H-1B cap-subject petition on your behalf, cap-gap protection through USCIS automatically extends your work authorization to October 1. You can keep working during this window, but you must carry documentation of the pending petition alongside your expired EAD. If the petition is withdrawn or denied before October 1, your cap-gap protection ends immediately.
How do I find AWS roles that are set up to hire STEM OPT students?
Not every AWS team or hiring manager is equally familiar with STEM OPT requirements. Migrate Mate surfaces roles from employers with confirmed E-Verify enrollment, so you can focus your applications on positions where your authorization is already compatible. From there, confirm during the recruiter screen that the team can support the I-983 co-signing process before investing time in interviews.
