Meteor user account email verification

I am trying to set up email verification for users. I am using useraccounts:core's enforceEmailVerification and i have the following on my server

Accounts.onCreateUser(function(options, user) {
  var userId = user._id;
  Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(userId);

  if(options.profile.invite){
    Invites.remove({_id: options.profile.invite});
  }

  user.profile = options.profile

  return user;
});

When I try to sign up as a user i get the following server error

I20150206-18:12:08.648(-5)? Exception while invoking method 'ATCreateUserServer' Error: Can't find user

You need to put sendVerificationEmail inside Accounts.createUser and set the timeout

Accounts.onCreateUser(function(options, user) {

 // we wait for Meteor to create the user before sending an email
 Meteor.setTimeout(function() {
    Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(user._id);
 }, 2 * 1000);

 return user; 
});

I came across this problem also and according to this: https://github.com/alanning/meteor-roles/issues/35#issuecomment-40674250 ,

it's not a good idea to put Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(userId); inside Accounts.onCreateUser because the user doesn't yet "exist".

If you're using a method you can return the userID when the user is created, then send the email afterwards, like so:

var userID = Accounts.createUser(options, callback);
Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(userID);
