Who it's for

Job hunting on OPT

You have graduated, or you are about to, and your OPT dates are set. We run your search inside that window, with employers that fit your work authorization.

Your DSO and USCIS decide

Your school's designated school official (DSO) recommends OPT and USCIS approves it. For the STEM OPT extension, your employer must be enrolled in E-Verify and complete a Form I-983 training plan with you. We help you keep track of the dates; we don't give immigration advice.

  • Post-completion OPT can last up to 12 months. Eligible STEM graduates can apply for a 24-month extension.
  • You can file for the STEM OPT extension up to 90 days before your current OPT authorization ends.
  • Unemployment is limited to 90 days on post-completion OPT, and 150 days in total if you receive the STEM extension.

Straight answers

Can you promise I will find a job before my OPT ends?

No. Nobody honest can, because the employer decides. What we promise is the work: applications, recruiter follow-up and interview preparation, starting as soon as you enroll.

Do you count my unemployment days?

No. The official count is kept in SEVIS, and your DSO can confirm it. The government's unemployment counter page, linked below, explains how it works.
