Hi! My OPT started 20 days back. I am still unemployed. I have an offer letter from a family friend's firm for unpaid 20 hrs per week relevant to my coursework. Their firm is in business in India for many years. They registered the firm in US couple of months back, and opened bank account in NJ. They have no operations or office in US so far. They will start soon generating leads from India. My responsibility would be to talk to the clients, and convert the leads. But this will take a month or so. By the time, I think I will find a suitable permanent opportunity. So to conclude, I'll be using this offer to stop my unemployment counter, and won't actually be working as there would be minimal or no work. The firm is using the registering agent's address and the contact number as their own for now.
Would such an arrangement cause any troubles now, or later during audit when my permanent employer files my H1B or OPT extension? What kind of information or proof do I need from the employer? Please advise.
