Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization in Application Developer Ii
Verify your degree's CIP code eligibility
Check that your STEM degree maps to a DHS-approved CIP code before applying. Computer science, software engineering, and information systems degrees typically qualify, but your DSO confirms the exact code on your updated I-20.
Confirm E-Verify enrollment before accepting offers
Before signing any offer letter, search the E-Verify employer database directly to confirm active enrollment. An employer who isn't enrolled cannot legally employ you on STEM OPT, regardless of how eager they are to hire.
Negotiate your I-983 training plan during onboarding
Push to finalize the I-983 before your start date, not after. For Application Developer II roles, the plan must describe specific learning objectives tied to your STEM degree, such as software architecture or system design skills.
Target employers with active H-1B filing histories
Use Migrate Mate to filter Application Developer II openings by employers who have filed H-1B visa petitions, since those companies already have established immigration infrastructure and are more likely to support your long-term status transition.
Use OFLC Wage Search to benchmark your offer
Look up the prevailing wage for Application Developer II using the OFLC Wage Search before negotiating. DOL wage level II typically covers mid-level developers, and your STEM OPT offer must meet that threshold to support a future LCA filing.
File your STEM OPT extension 90 days before OPT expires
USCIS requires your STEM OPT extension application to be submitted at least 90 days before your initial OPT end date. Missing this window forces a gap in work authorization that your employer cannot bridge, even with a signed offer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Application Developer II role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Yes, Application Developer II positions qualify when your employer's job description requires a STEM degree and your own degree maps to a DHS-approved CIP code. Common qualifying degrees include computer science, software engineering, and information systems. Your DSO verifies the CIP code match and issues the updated I-20 you need to file the extension with USCIS.
How do I find Application Developer II employers enrolled in E-Verify?
You can search the E-Verify employer database to confirm a specific company's enrollment status before applying. Migrate Mate also surfaces Application Developer II roles from employers with verified sponsorship histories, so you can focus your applications on companies already set up to employ STEM OPT workers without needing to research each one individually.
What does the I-983 training plan need to include for an Application Developer II position?
The I-983 must outline specific goals that connect your daily work to your STEM degree. For an Application Developer II role, that means documenting learning objectives tied to software development, system design, or engineering principles rather than generic job duties. Both you and your employer sign the plan, and your DSO reviews it before the extension is approved.
What happens to my work authorization if my H-1B is selected but my STEM OPT expires first?
The cap-gap rule extends your STEM OPT work authorization automatically if your H-1B petition is filed before your OPT end date and you remain in valid F-1 status. This extension runs through September 30 of the fiscal year the H-1B takes effect, so you can keep working without interruption while USCIS adjudicates the petition.
Can I switch Application Developer II employers while on STEM OPT?
Yes, but you must take specific steps before starting with the new employer. The new employer must be enrolled in E-Verify, you and your DSO must update the I-983 to reflect the new role and training goals, and you must report the employer change through your school within the required reporting window. Starting work before completing these steps puts your status at risk.
