Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization as an Information Security Intern
Verify your CIP code covers cybersecurity
Check your official transcript against the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List before applying. Degrees in Computer Science, Information Assurance, or Electrical Engineering typically qualify, but Information Systems degrees vary by institution and CIP code.
Confirm E-Verify enrollment before accepting offers
Ask the recruiter for the company's E-Verify Company ID or check enrollment status directly through E-Verify before signing anything. An employer who can't provide that ID cannot legally employ you on STEM OPT, regardless of how the offer reads.
Request a security-clearance policy in writing
Many federal contractor roles in information security require clearance eligibility, which non-U.S. citizens cannot obtain. Get the employer's citizenship and clearance requirements in writing before investing time in their interview process.
Map your training plan to SOC code 15-1212
Your I-983 must tie your learning objectives to specific information security tasks. Use O*NET's profile for Information Security Analysts to pull recognized tasks and knowledge areas your supervisor can reference when completing the training plan.
File your STEM OPT extension 90 days early
USCIS recommends submitting your I-765 extension at least 90 days before your initial OPT expires. Your DSO must issue an updated I-20 first, so build that lead time into your job search timeline and don't wait until you have an offer.
Use Migrate Mate to target verified sponsors
Filter your search on Migrate Mate to surface employers with confirmed E-Verify enrollment and active STEM OPT hiring history in security roles. That removes the guesswork of cold-applying to companies that will reject you at the offer stage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Information Security Intern role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
It qualifies if your underlying degree is on the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List and the internship maps to a STEM field of study. The role itself doesn't determine eligibility on its own. Your DSO confirms eligibility based on your CIP code when issuing the updated I-20 for the I-765 extension application.
What E-Verify requirement applies to my employer for STEM OPT?
Your employer must be actively enrolled in E-Verify at the worksite where you'll be based before your STEM OPT start date. Enrollment at the company's headquarters doesn't automatically cover a subsidiary or separate office location. Confirm the specific worksite's E-Verify status with HR before your start date, not after.
What should my I-983 training plan include for an information security internship?
The I-983 must describe specific learning objectives tied to your STEM degree, not just your daily job tasks. For an information security role, that means listing skills like network threat analysis, vulnerability assessment, or security operations that directly connect to your degree's coursework. Your supervisor signs off on the plan and must evaluate your progress every six months.
How does cap-gap protection work if my employer files an H-1B petition for me after this internship?
If you're selected in the H-1B lottery and your employer files a timely petition before your OPT EAD expires, cap-gap automatically extends your work authorization through September 30 of that year. You can continue working in the information security role during cap-gap as long as the petition remains pending and your status is maintained.
Where can I find Information Security Intern roles from employers who are already set up for STEM OPT?
Migrate Mate filters listings to show employers with confirmed E-Verify enrollment, which is the baseline requirement for any STEM OPT placement. Searching there saves you from applying to roles where the employer will stall or rescind an offer once they realize the STEM OPT compliance steps they need to complete.
