Q: I am trying to register my own company, make it e-verify, and extend OPT STEM. Does it need to be a Corporation or LLC?
Hello and happy New Year to you!
I am a graduated STEM international student and currently working under OPT status. My OPT time is up around mid-February and I need to extend my OPT. The company I am working for is an E-verify staffing company but unfortunately because of the upcoming OPT laws there are not willing to provide me the Employer E-verify code that I need ( to fill in I-765 form) to send along my application for extension (maybe because the proposed new law says that they need to provide me training and pay me the same amount other are getting payed with the same degree and skills. I have masters in Mechanical Eng).
So I am taking another route
After my research I figured out that it is possible to start my own company, make it e-verify and and apply for extension. But I couldn't find the answer if my company needs to be a Corporation or a LLC would also do it
I greatly appreciate your answer!
A:
Based on your question and facts, an LLC would seem better...however I strongly suggest you talk an attorney in the your state for the proper registration procedures...there are many things you may miss if you try to do it yourself all to your detriment. Always best to let a professional handle certain sensitive and important matters such as this!
