In order to access immigrant-based visas or permanent residency in the United States, you may need to show proof that you are employed with an organization and that organization must indicate key attributes of your employment such as your position and pay.
You do this by presenting a letter of employment from your employer, verifying that you are an employee of the organization, that you have been performing the relevant job duties in line with your job title. The letter must also state when you started working with the company organization as well as your salary specifications.
The employment verification letter should be original and printed on company letterhead. The letter should be signed by your supervisor, human resource person, or some other Senior Management personnel qualified to undertake same, and should include a contact phone number.
The letter should state the following: starting date with the company, current employment status (full time, part time, contract, etc.), position title, annual salary or hourly wage. If you are paid by the hour, you should convert that to an annual salary.
Here is a sample letter you can present to your Employer. Again, be sure to have your letter on company letterhead.
