OPT STEM extension and e-verify

[bubun222]

My employer is not e-verified. I am on OPT currently. Next month they are planning to become e-verified. Can I have OPT STEM extension after they are e-verified, or do they need to put my I-9 information to e-verification system in order for me to apply for my OPT STEM extension?

They need to enroll into EVerify before your OPT expires and you need to file for extension after enrollment but before OPT expiration. There is no other requirement.
