Hey guys,
My first job is USA on a H1B visa was for a consultancy company. I left the company in Dec,2000 and started working for the client. Initailly my consultancy company did not want me to join the client and we had an argument over that. Anyway, I left the company and joined my client. I do not know any guy who has actually worked for that company. Now I need to get an employment certificate from the company for the period I worked with them for my GC processing. I tried to contact them, but they are not replying to my calls.

Is the company legally bound to issue me an employment certificate for the period I worked with them?

I would really appreciate any information from any of the guys.
 
Talk to your lawyers - a sworn, notarized affidavit by a former colleague from your company saying that he worked with you during that period, listing your job description/responsibilities, etc should suffice.

An employer is not required to furnish you any employment certification documents.
