E-VERIFY

U. S. law requires companies to employ only individuals who may legally work in the United States.
E-Verify is a system that allows companies to determine the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
TEKINFY is glad to inform that it participates in E-Verify program. This helps the qualified foreign students to work long term with us using their OPT authorization.
In April 2008, U. S. government extended the duration of post-completion work authorization (OPT) from 12 months to 29 months for certain qualifying foreign students with completed U. S. degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). In all circumstances, foreign students are only eligible for this extension if their employer participates in the E-Verify program. Many employers do not participate in E-Verify and the foreign students working for those employers are only given 12 months of OPT, even if they would otherwise qualify for the extension.
