DV 2010 AOS Only

Thanks for your response i2009,

I already sent the employer letter and stuff. They haven't asked me for the affidavit of support for the interview but they have asked for attestation from the employer that my work counts towards at least 2 years of experience! Remember, they are asking me based on the applicant who only has a high school degree. It has nothing to do with financial support. I hope i could explain it. Thanks again for the template ... i am looking for something from the employer "attesting" that my work counts towards certain years of experience and if that needs to be notarized. (Of course it would be on the company letterhead and signed by the employer).

Hello cooldude,

This is a template of the employment letter that I attached to my application:

<Date>

Department of Homeland Security
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
P.O. Box 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-4120

To Whom It May Concern:

<Name> is currently employed by <Company name> as a <job title>. His employment with <Company name> started in <date when I started> on a full-time permanent basis and will continue on the same terms indefinitely. His compensation package includes a salary of <your salary>.

Sincerely,


<Signature, name, and job title of the Company's representative>

It seems to be important that the letter is in the employer's letterhead and that it states the salary.

I hope this template will help you.

Hi bentlebee,

I think you misunderstood my concern. I was talking about work experience affidavit. Not the affidavit of sponsor. When you apply for the DV lottery, you need to have at least a high school degree and a two year experience or some higher degree and then you don't need to show experience. My concern was that I do have a higher degree and also have experience, but i didn't expect to be asked for the experience verification as I have a higher degree! Anyways, since USCIS does not have a specific form for the employer to attest regarding the experience, i was wondering if it needs to be notarized.

If you are in the US already notorizing is so easy and even your own bank can do it for free...so why not have it just in case.

High School is what is mandatory or having worked in an approved job for a couple of years....not HS and a degree...maybe they don't trust something or they made a mistake...

What country are you from?

Hello cooldude,

I am sorry that I misunderstood your concern. I have never heard of the Employment Affidavit but I wonder if a job description would work. A note with the job description and the requirement of a Master Degree with 5 or more years of experience.

A note like that was submitted by my employer when they sponsored me for an employment-based green card application.

Good luck

hek123, may be they returned your package coz ur case is nt current yet (check da visa bulletin)....i dnt knw if we can mail our documents to chicago after oct 1 or we need to wait until our case becomes current. bt smbdy in the blog suggested me to wait until ur number appears in the visa bulletin. my case number is AS12*** and m still waiting to see my number current. Hope it gets in this bulletin.

Have you heard of anything like this. Or, since u r already in US and ur case gets current so its sure to get everything right? I hope u knw wat m trying to say!!!

There have been people on this forum stating they were denied for different reason, but IMO most people with a denial will either give up and won't write anymore or are busy with a lawyer to see what they can do...and some just never go forward.

Good luck, hek!

I did not know one could send a package without NL2. Apparently, it is possible. Hope you get your NOA and biometrics soon.

There are some people that i know sent their app without it and they got approved. This doesn't change the fact that it would be better to send it with NL2 ofcourse. So everybody is right :) Thanks for your replies.

Last time i sent it to the dearborn adress. This time i changed my mind and sent it to the regular adress so there is no way that the same officer would get it :) Lets see what happens

That can't be the problem bcs if you check my signature my case number is 19** so I am way over current:) well there are people who applied a lot early and i believe they are doing allright. I forgot who were they though. You might want to read previous pages for that. Btw since we are in november your number should be current. Am i wrong?
 
yeah its best to be on the safe side.

I knowww! But they asked for both proofs, for me and hubby, and I am not even the Primary applicant. I guess they just did it that way to give us a chance to pick which you one we want to qualify under. Anyway, we'll just take both.

All the best for your Biometrics!

Are you telling us that IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET DENIAL:eek:
Even if you have either the education requirements and the job experience?
That is crazy. I think that Cp is the best option.

If I remember well the person did CP...if he was alreeady in this country and did AOS, I assume his English would have been okay.
