Didn't work on OPT but was paid for the expenses

[kittu7]

Guys, Please help me with my question

 

I finished my masters in August 2010 and then joined company 'A'

I had no SSN until October 2010.

Once i got my SSN, my employer from Company 'A' started running pay roll of '$250'  for the expenses.

He didn't place me in any job until February 2011 then I moved to Company 'B'.

I started working from May 2011 through Company 'B'

Now, I have W2's from both Company 'A' and Company 'B' for the year 2011. 

 

My Question:

 

If VO asks me "What did i do after my Masters?', what can i answer?

 

Should i mention about Company 'A' ?

 OR

Can i just say, Finished my masters in August 2010 and joined Company 'B' ?

 

OR

 

Can any one please suggest me a better answer for my question? (I have my interview in the 1st week of November)

 

Help/Suggestions appreciated.

 

Thank You

That you worked for Company A.

Just the say TRUTH. Saying you work for company A for xx period and joined company B after that

Of course you need to mention ALL of your employers. Don't even think about lying.

And btw, an SSN is not required to start working.

OK, If i answer I've worked for company A, does $250 pay roll will create any trouble?

We don't know, but if you lie, you will get banned for life.

Rule #1: NEVER NEVER NEVER lie to immigration officials.
