Someone to apply to cybersecurity jobs for you, on OPT or H-1B
Security has its own H-1B occupations, Information Security Analysts and Information Security Engineers. It also has a catch for visa holders: many government and defense jobs need a US security clearance, and those are closed to you. We skip them and apply where you can actually be hired.
Short answer: Yes. FlexApply applies to cybersecurity jobs for you, only at employers with an H-1B filing record, and skips roles that need a security clearance or US citizenship. From July to September 2025, 580 employers filed 1,093 certified H-1B applications for titles with security or cyber in them, at a median offered wage of $141,378. It starts at $49.

Source: US Department of Labor LCA disclosure data, fiscal 2025 quarter 4 file (decisions from July to September 2025), certified H-1B filings only. Counts are by the job title the employer wrote, so one filing can match more than one row. A filing shows an employer sponsored that kind of role, not that it is hiring today.
Security engineer is the bigger and better paid of the two main tracks: 444 filings at a median of $148,150, against 201 filings at $120,300 for analyst titles.

Clearance and citizenship rules
Many federal, defense and government contractor security jobs need a security clearance, and clearances are generally limited to US citizens. Some postings also say US persons only because of export rules. We read each posting for these lines before applying, so your applications are not spent on jobs that cannot hire you.
STEM OPT for security degrees
Cybersecurity, computer science and information systems degrees are usually on the DHS STEM list, so most security candidates qualify for the 24-month STEM OPT extension. The job has to relate to your degree and the employer has to use E-Verify.
How we apply for you
A real person on our team picks roles that match your background and level, tailors your resume to each job description using only your real experience, writes a real cover letter, and submits. Every employer is checked against the DOL filings first, so your applications go to companies that have actually sponsored this kind of role. Nothing is auto-submitted without a person looking at it, and you get a report of everything sent. See how it works.
What it costs
It starts with a $49 trial of 20 applications so you can see the work before paying more. Most students close to graduation pick the Placement plan: $200 a month with unlimited applications, and a placement fee only once you are hired.
Common questions
Is there a service that applies to cybersecurity jobs for me?
Yes. FlexApply is a done-for-you job application service for international candidates. A person on our team tailors your real resume to each cybersecurity posting and applies only to employers that have sponsored H-1B before, using US Department of Labor filings. It starts at $49.
Do companies sponsor H-1B for cybersecurity jobs?
Yes. From July to September 2025, 580 employers filed 1,093 certified H-1B applications for security and cyber titles. 48% were filed as Information Security Analysts and 22% as Information Security Engineers.
Which companies sponsor security engineers on H-1B?
For security engineer titles, Amazon.com Services LLC filed the most from July to September 2025 (53), followed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. (12).
Can I work in cybersecurity on a visa if the job needs a clearance?
Usually not. Security clearances are generally limited to US citizens, so cleared government and defense roles are closed to most OPT and H-1B candidates. Private companies, banks and consulting firms hire security staff without clearances, and that is where we apply.
How much does it cost?
A $49 trial covers 20 applications. The Placement plan is $200 a month with unlimited applications and a fee only after you are hired. Current prices are on the pricing page.
