STEM OPT — employer not on E-Verify, what are my options?
SolvedMy offer is great but the company isn't enrolled in E-Verify, which I think is required for STEM OPT. Can they enroll quickly, or do I need to look elsewhere?

Correct — STEM OPT requires the employer to be enrolled in E-Verify. Enrollment is free and usually takes a few business days. Ask their HR/legal to enroll before your STEM extension filing; many will do it for a strong candidate.
