Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization as a Full Stack Web Engineer
Verify your CIP code before applying
Check that your degree's Classification of Instructional Programs code maps to a DHS-designated STEM field. Computer science (11.0701) and software engineering (14.0903) both qualify, but information systems degrees vary by institution, so confirm with your DSO before targeting roles.
Filter job postings by E-Verify status
Full stack roles at non-E-Verify employers can't authorize your STEM OPT extension regardless of offer quality. Search Migrate Mate to find Full Stack Web Engineer openings at employers already enrolled in E-Verify, so you're not discovering the problem after an offer.
Request the I-983 training plan early
Your employer must complete Form I-983 before your STEM OPT extension begins. Bring the form to your first conversation with the hiring manager or HR team so they know what's required and the extension timeline doesn't stall during onboarding.
Use O*NET to defend your specialty occupation claim
Full stack web engineering maps to O*NET's Software Developers occupation, which lists a bachelor's degree as the typical entry requirement. Reference this when an employer questions whether your role qualifies, especially at smaller companies unfamiliar with STEM OPT documentation.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications through DOL for engineering roles have already navigated prevailing wage and E-Verify requirements. Prioritizing these companies reduces the risk of an offer collapsing because the employer can't meet STEM OPT compliance obligations.
Understand cap-gap protection if transitioning to H-1B
If an employer files an H-1B petition on your behalf before your STEM OPT expires, cap-gap rules extend your work authorization automatically through September 30 of that fiscal year. USCIS processes cap-gap extensions without a separate filing, but your I-20 must reflect the updated end date from your DSO.

Find Full Stack Web Engineer JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does a Full Stack Web Engineer role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Yes, if your underlying degree is in a DHS-designated STEM field such as computer science, software engineering, or electrical engineering. The role itself must also require and directly relate to that degree. Your DSO confirms eligibility by verifying your degree's CIP code against the STEM Designated Degree Program List maintained by DHS. Roles where any unrelated bachelor's degree satisfies the requirement do not qualify.
What does my employer need to do to support my STEM OPT extension?
Your employer must be actively enrolled in E-Verify and must complete Form I-983, the Training Plan for STEM OPT Students. The I-983 documents how the role provides practical training related to your degree, sets learning objectives, and outlines supervisor responsibilities. The employer must also conduct a formal evaluation at the 12-month mark during the 24-month extension period. Without E-Verify enrollment, the extension cannot be authorized regardless of the role's STEM fit.
How do I confirm an employer is enrolled in E-Verify before accepting an offer?
You can ask the recruiter or HR contact directly whether the company is enrolled in E-Verify and request the E-Verify Company ID or a copy of their Memorandum of Understanding with DHS. Employers enrolled in E-Verify are listed in the E-Verify employer search tool maintained by DHS. Searching Migrate Mate surfaces Full Stack Web Engineer roles at employers already verified for STEM OPT eligibility, which shortens this step considerably.
What happens to my work authorization if my STEM OPT expires while an H-1B petition is pending?
If an employer files a cap-subject H-1B petition on your behalf before your STEM OPT end date, cap-gap protection automatically extends your work authorization through September 30 of that fiscal year, or until USCIS makes a decision on the petition if it is denied or withdrawn before that date. You don't file a separate application for cap-gap, but your DSO must issue an updated I-20 reflecting the cap-gap end date before you continue working.
Can I work as a contractor or at a client site on STEM OPT as a Full Stack Web Engineer?
STEM OPT regulations require that your training take place at the E-Verify enrolled employer that signed your I-983, not at a third-party client site where that employer has no supervisory control. Staffing arrangements where you are placed at an unaffiliated client site typically do not satisfy the training plan requirements. USCIS has clarified that the employer of record must provide bona fide supervision and the training must be tied to your degree field, which rules out most pass-through staffing arrangements for this extension.
