Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization in Security Architect
Confirm your CIP code covers security
Degrees in computer science, cybersecurity, or electrical engineering typically qualify, but information systems degrees vary by institution. Pull your transcript and cross-reference your exact CIP code against the STEM OPT designated degree program list before applying to roles.
Filter employers by E-Verify enrollment
Any employer hiring you on STEM OPT must be enrolled in E-Verify, not just willing to enroll later. Ask recruiters directly and confirm enrollment status through the E-Verify employer search tool before investing time in any application process.
Build your I-983 training plan early
Security Architect roles involve broad responsibilities, so your I-983 must map specific learning objectives to concrete tasks like threat modeling, zero-trust architecture design, or cloud security controls. A vague plan risks DSO rejection and delays your extension start date.
Target companies with active security LCA filings
Use the OFLC Wage Search to identify employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for security architect or information security roles. Recent LCA activity signals that a company has the compliance infrastructure to hire and maintain STEM OPT employees without friction.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified STEM OPT employers
Search for Security Architect roles on Migrate Mate to surface employers whose hiring history confirms they work with STEM OPT students. This cuts out companies that are unfamiliar with the E-Verify requirement or the I-983 process.
Negotiate your offer letter before the I-983 is drafted
Your job title, duties, and supervision structure in the offer letter must align with what you put in your I-983 training plan. Get those terms finalized in writing before your DSO prepares the plan to avoid inconsistencies that USCIS could flag during an audit.

Find Security Architect JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does my degree qualify me for the STEM OPT extension as a Security Architect?
Your degree qualifies if it appears on the STEM OPT designated degree program list, which includes most computer science, cybersecurity, information assurance, and electrical engineering programs. The qualifying factor is your CIP code, not your job title. If your degree is in a field like information systems or management information systems, confirm your institution's specific CIP code against the published list before applying for the extension.
What does the I-983 training plan need to include for a Security Architect role?
Your I-983 must connect your Security Architect duties to specific learning goals tied to your STEM degree. For this role, that means documenting objectives around areas like network security architecture, risk frameworks, or cloud security design, not just listing your job description. Your employer must sign it, and your DSO must approve it before USCIS processes your extension. Vague or mismatched objectives are a common reason DSOs send plans back for revision.
How do I confirm my employer is enrolled in E-Verify?
You can search employer enrollment status directly through the E-Verify employer search tool, which is publicly accessible. Enrollment must be active at the time you begin working on the STEM OPT extension, not just promised for later. If a company says it will enroll after you join, that's a compliance risk for your status. Always verify before accepting an offer.
Does the cap-gap rule protect me while waiting for H-1B approval as a Security Architect?
Yes, if your OPT or STEM OPT end date falls before October 1 and your H-1B petition is filed and accepted under cap, the cap-gap rule extends your work authorization through September 30 of that fiscal year. Your F-1 status and employment authorization remain valid during this period. USCIS provides guidance on cap-gap eligibility and documentation requirements on their official pages.
Where can I find Security Architect jobs from employers who already work with STEM OPT students?
Migrate Mate lists Security Architect roles from employers with verified STEM OPT hiring history, so you're not starting from zero on E-Verify and I-983 education. You can filter by role and see which companies have the compliance background to hire F-1 students on the extension. The O*NET profile for Security Architect roles also outlines the competencies and tasks that map well to I-983 training objectives.
