What to do if H1-B gets rejected?

[cheergirl]

I am on OPT right now and while my company has agreed to apply for a H1-B visa for me, they have not agreed to register with E-verify. I have a STEM degree but the E-verify process allows too much inquiry in to the company. Should my H1-B application get rejected, how else can I continue to work for this company? Is it possible to just enrol for a masters program and get a new I-20 and OPT? Are there any other options to beat the system?

"the E-verify process allows too much inquiry in to the company" makes no sense. The E-verify program allows companies to verify that a potential employee is legally entitled to work in the US.

Your employer sounds dishonest if this is what he told you; I suspect - and hope - you misunderstood.

E-verify forces the employer to register every single employee's social security number. I work for a construction firm and there probably are a couple of illegals in the company which they probably do not want to expose.

What does E-verify have to do with H1b approval? If you are talking about OPT extension, it makes sense. H1b getting denied due to E-verify is unheard of.

Many H1B employers will e-verify but it is not yet required by law.

E-verify has nothing to do with H1-B application. I was just saying that I do not have the option to do the STEM extension at this point because my employer does not want to for whatever reason. So considering this situation, should my H1-B get rejected, is there another way to stay and work legally.

No.

A student visa was never a guarantee for a job in the US. You will need to take you education and experience and return to your home country. There are not - and if US workers have their say - there never will be enough visas for every one who wants to enter, stay, and work in the US.

You took a chance and lost.
