Thank you for the hyperlink, Joshua.
I will investigate this.
I'm not sure why the guy at Thawte got secretive and rude to you, because it's
open information
Maybe I had a talk with a bad technical specialist.

I need to make some corrections.
So, I think maybe there is a arrangement of CA's companies(Verisign,Thawte and
others) with
browser's companies(Microsoft, Opera, Mozilla) that a special root or trusted
CA’s certificate
is use for Extended Validation. Therefore, any web server's certificate which
is signed with
this special cert is treated as cert with Extended Validation and a green bar
is displayed.
Who has another point of view? Maybe there are some special extensions of
X.509v3?

and you were close to the mark the first time:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Validation_Certificate#Extended_Validation_certificate_identification
It's a bit confusing because most (maybe all?) vendors use a different
intermediate cert for
their EV certs, but that doesn't matter, only the presence or absence of the
OID does.
