OPT Extensiong RFE

[shabaz89]

I got RFE for my OPT extension asking me to submit the correct E-verify number or Tax Identification Number of my company. Initially itseemed like a very simple RFE but my company (A) said they are not finding the E-verify number and even if they find the E-verify number, USCIS could not find this number in their system coz the legal entity of company A is closed in Jan 2015 and company A is tookover by company B.

1. Is this true, if the company's legal entity is closed, the E-verify number doesnot showup to the employer or USCIS could not find it in their database?

2. Company B asked me to submit the [B]Tax Identification Number of Company A and Name & E-verify number of Company B[/B] along with the HR letter on the Company B's letter stating the take over of company A by Company B. Will this solve my RFE?

3. If point 2. is the only option now, do I need to inform my DSO about the Name change of my employer (I did not change the employer but the owner/name of the company changed). How should I tackle this issue and draft a letter to USCIS? Is there anyone who faced the similar kind of problem?

I got RFE on Jan13th and my First OPT ends on Feb 12th. Seems like I can continue to work for 180 days when my OPT Extension request is pending.

Thanks for the suggestions in advance.

You should definitely inform your DSO of the change in your employer entity as Company A no longer legally exists.
Company B’s suggestion seems to be correct; you need to submit a letter from Company B explaining Company A was taken over by Company B and that all Company A employees are now Company B employees. You can give FEIN of both Company A and B and give them the new E-Verify information for Company B. This should presumably solve the issue as Company B is e-Verified, luckily. You should also submit a letter reiterating what Company B states in their letter and tell USCIS that the change happened after the OPT application was submitted.
