    It has to be paid and employer must be e-verified.

    If you don't mind answering, what org was your brother working with?

      He was in aws cloud support. Never join cloud support as a student on opt. They are using students as “Hire to Fire” candidates.

    Yes STEM OPT has to be paid but I think you can work a min of 20 hrs. The company has to be e verified and should be willing to sign I485 training form

      This sounds right, but I think the form you've mentioned (I485) might be incorrect.
