Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization as an Information Security Analyst
Verify your CIP code before applying
Cross-check your degree's CIP code against the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List to confirm it qualifies for the 24-month extension. Cybersecurity and computer science degrees typically qualify, but information systems degrees vary by institution.
Filter jobs by E-Verify status first
Use Migrate Mate to search Information Security Analyst roles filtered by employers enrolled in E-Verify, the legal prerequisite for your STEM OPT extension. Applying to non-enrolled employers wastes your OPT clock on roles that can't authorize you.
Target employers with active security clearance pipelines
Federal contractors and defense firms hiring Information Security Analysts routinely use E-Verify because federal contracts require it. These employers are structurally more likely to be STEM OPT-compliant than startups or small businesses.
Draft your I-983 training plan before the offer stage
Employers unfamiliar with STEM OPT often stall at the I-983 requirement. Arrive at the offer conversation with a draft training plan tied to specific security analyst competencies so your employer can review and sign without delay.
Confirm your role maps to O*NET code 15-1212
Pull the O*NET profile for Information Security Analysts and document how your job duties match the listed tasks and knowledge areas. USCIS and your DSO may request this alignment to validate your training plan during the extension filing.
Request written E-Verify enrollment confirmation early
Ask your recruiter or HR contact for the employer's E-Verify company ID or a screenshot of their enrollment status before you accept an offer. Verbal assurances aren't enough, and your DSO needs documented proof to process your extension application.

Find Information Security Analyst JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does an Information Security Analyst role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Yes, Information Security Analyst positions qualify for the 24-month STEM OPT extension when your degree is in a DHS-designated STEM field such as computer science, cybersecurity, or information technology, and your CIP code appears on the STEM Designated Degree Program List. Your DSO will verify the degree-to-role alignment when processing your extension through SEVIS.
How do I confirm my employer is enrolled in E-Verify?
You can search the E-Verify employer search tool by company name to check enrollment status. Enrollment is a strict legal requirement for STEM OPT employers, not optional. If a company isn't listed, they can't legally employ you under the STEM OPT extension, even if they're willing to sign your I-983 training plan. Always verify before accepting an offer.
What goes into the I-983 training plan for an Information Security Analyst?
Your I-983 must describe how the role develops practical skills tied to your STEM degree, including specific learning objectives, supervision structure, and evaluation methods. For Information Security Analysts, this typically covers security operations, risk assessment, vulnerability management, and incident response. Your employer signs the form and your DSO submits it as part of the extension application to USCIS.
What happens to my work authorization if my employer's H-1B petition is selected in the lottery?
If your employer files an H-1B petition during your STEM OPT period and it's selected, cap-gap protection automatically extends your OPT work authorization through September 30 of that year while USCIS adjudicates the petition. You don't need to take any action beyond ensuring your employer files before your OPT EAD expires. USCIS guidance covers the specific conditions that apply.
Where can I find Information Security Analyst jobs where the employer is already set up for STEM OPT?
Migrate Mate lets you search Information Security Analyst roles filtered specifically for E-Verify-enrolled employers, so you're not wasting time applying to companies that can't legally authorize your STEM OPT extension. The platform surfaces employers with demonstrated hiring history for international candidates, which reduces the back-and-forth around I-983 compliance at the offer stage.
