Hi,
I have a very strange problem. I am on OPT and it is expiring on May 6th 2011. I am currently working for a company (A) Full time which has no e-verification number and I am getting payed by that company(A). Also I am working for a company (B) voluntarily where i am not payed, this company(B) has e-verification.

Can I now apply for OPT extension through Company B (as it has e-verification) while i am working for Company A. Cuz I understand that on OPT, students can work for more than one employers.

Please help me with this issue.

Thank you
Daya

E-Verify is an Internet-based, free program run by the United States government that compares information from an employee's Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 to data from U.S. government records. If the information matches, that employee is eligible to work in the United States. If there's a mismatch, E-Verify alerts the employer and the employee is allowed to work while he or she resolves the problem; they must contact the appropriate agency to resolve the mismatch within eight federal government work days from the referral date.[1] The program is operated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in partnership with Social Security Administration.

According to the DHS website, more than 196,000 employers now use E-Verify. Over 1,400 companies enroll in the program every week.[2]
