Hareeb bro, I doubt...the company has to be e-verified for filing h1-b...but if they are going to hire you...why dont u join first? may be they can directly process GC in future who knows?, try to prove urself as the best candidate..  forget h1-b yaar...this is the worst VISA I guess...

you sure?? they process h-1 and they are not e-verified.. any other inputs?

the company need not be e-verified to sponsor H1.  Only if ur H1 got rejected and u need to apply OPT extension for 17 months, then the company should be e-verified at that moment to be eligible for your OPT extension.

WASHINGTON— Federal contractors and subcontractors will be required to begin using the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ E-Verify system starting September 8, 2009, to verify their employees’ eligibility to legally work in the United States.   http://www.uscis.gov/portal/si... Can I work with non-e verified company for 1 year OPT if I dont plan on extending it? Above paragraph seems to say all consultancies need to be e-verified. Please help on this matter. thanks Last edited: 12-Jan-10 09:40 PM

more inputs please

Those apply for federal contractors and sub contractors only. If your office is federal contractor which you can ask them, then it shud be e-verified. Not all offices are federal contractor. Contract means any Government contract or subcontract or any federally assisted construction contract or subcontract.

so if it is private like much of of the consultancies, then it is fine? federal meaning government funded i assume.
