What STEM OPT needs
- STEM OPT is a 24-month extension of post-completion OPT for F-1 students whose degree is on the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List.
- The job has to be with an employer that is enrolled in and using E-Verify, and the employer has to sign a training plan with you on Form I-983, which your DSO reviews.
- The rules also ask for paid work of at least 20 hours a week, a real employer and employee relationship, and pay and duties comparable to similar US workers at that employer. The official pages below have the full list.
- OPT and STEM OPT are work authorization of their own, so the employer does not sponsor you to hire you on them. Sponsorship only matters later, for an H-1B, which is why each role shows the employer's USCIS H-1B record.

What E-Verify listed means here. E-Verify listed means the employer appears on E-Verify's public employer list as of 6 November 2026, matched by company name. It does not mean the role qualifies for STEM OPT: your degree must be on the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List, employers choose which hiring sites use E-Verify, and the employer must sign your training plan. Confirm with the employer and your school's DSO before you accept.
