OPT Extension - E-Verify for multiple Site company

[Thien N]

I have been working at company X for a year.

My OPT ends in May 14, 2017; and I'm applying for Extension.

Problem here is:

X has a Headquarter in Texas.
X has a branch in Georgia.
IT Department is in Texas (where I will be working at).
Georgia branch is in E-Verify.
Headquarter is not in E-Verify.

Both Georgia branch and Headquarter are hiring employees separately.

I am not sure if those two are under the same EIN. (I will be asking the company lawyer about this).

My question is:

 

• Can I apply as an employee in Georgia (as they are in E-verify) but still work in Texas (as the IT Dept is in Texas)?
• For the I-983 form, who will be the one to fill the training plan for me? My supervisor is in Texas (of course), but on paper I am Georgia branch employee. Can I still have him as my supervisor? Or the supervisor needs to be in Georgia?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, I am in a similar boat but my employer is giving me parent company e-verify detail for my OPT extension which uses a different EIN. Do you have any idea if I can use the parent company details for the extension?
