Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization as an Application Support Engineer
Verify your degree's CIP code eligibility
Check your STEM degree against the official DHS STEM OPT Designated Degree Program List before applying. Degrees in computer science, information systems, and engineering typically qualify, but confirm your specific CIP code with your DSO to avoid a denied extension.
Filter job searches by E-Verify enrollment status
Application Support Engineer roles at non-E-Verify employers are off-limits for STEM OPT. Use Migrate Mate to search roles filtered for E-Verify-enrolled employers so you don't waste time pursuing positions that can't legally hire you on a STEM OPT extension.
Negotiate your I-983 training plan before accepting an offer
Get the I-983 conversation on the table during offer negotiation, not after signing. Application support roles must show a clear connection between your daily tasks and your STEM degree field, so bring a draft training plan to show the hiring manager what USCIS requires.
Target employers with established OPT onboarding workflows
Mid-size SaaS and enterprise software companies that regularly hire engineers often have HR teams familiar with I-983 requirements and E-Verify processes. Ask recruiters directly whether they've onboarded STEM OPT students before to gauge how smooth your start date will be.
Use OFLC Wage Search to benchmark your offer against prevailing wage
Application Support Engineer salaries vary by metro area and experience level. Run an OFLC Wage Search lookup using SOC code 15-1232 before accepting an offer so you can identify whether the compensation aligns with what the DOL considers the prevailing wage in your location.

Find Application Support Engineer JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does an Application Support Engineer role qualify for STEM OPT?
Yes, if your degree is listed on the DHS STEM OPT Designated Degree Program List. Degrees in computer science, information systems, software engineering, and related CIP-coded fields typically qualify. The role itself must also directly relate to your degree field, which your DSO confirms when approving your I-983 training plan. Confirm your specific CIP code with your DSO before applying.
How does the E-Verify requirement affect my job search for Application Support Engineer roles?
Every employer that hires you on a STEM OPT extension must be enrolled in E-Verify, regardless of company size or industry. If an employer isn't enrolled, they can't legally extend your authorization, and you'd need to find a different position before your initial OPT expires. Migrate Mate filters Application Support Engineer listings by E-Verify status so you can focus only on eligible employers from the start.
What should my I-983 training plan include for an Application Support Engineer position?
Your I-983 must connect your daily work tasks directly to your STEM degree's learning objectives. For Application Support Engineer roles, that typically means documenting how troubleshooting enterprise systems, writing technical documentation, or managing incident workflows builds on your degree coursework. USCIS reviews this document, so vague job descriptions won't satisfy the requirement. Your employer's manager and your DSO both sign off before you submit.
What happens to my STEM OPT authorization if I'm selected in the H-1B lottery?
If your H-1B petition is filed before your STEM OPT EAD expires and you're cap-selected, cap-gap protection automatically extends your work authorization through September 30 of the fiscal year the H-1B takes effect. You can continue working as an Application Support Engineer during that gap without interruption, as long as your employer maintains their E-Verify enrollment and your petition remains pending or approved.
Can I switch Application Support Engineer employers during my STEM OPT extension?
Yes, but you must report the change to your DSO within five business days and complete a new I-983 training plan with the new employer. The new employer must also be enrolled in E-Verify. Your EAD card remains valid for the duration of the authorized period, but working for a non-E-Verify employer, even briefly, violates your STEM OPT terms and can trigger status issues.
