I-485 and Employment Letter

Employment Letter
For an employment based I-485 application employment letter is a sine qua non--an absolute necessity. Otherwise the I-485 would be rejected--no RFE!
I do not understand if an employer is sponsoring why he should take such a long time--having gone through labor certification--ETA 750A--and applying for an immigrant visa (I-140); a simple letter on a letterhead confirming the LC and the I-140 should be enough!

employement verification letter
Samir,
That\'s not correct. They won\'t reject the I-485 just because they didn\'t see you letter, they will send an RFE. It happend to me

Employment letter
Cannot use Notorized Letters(I think) My lawyer asked for "THE" Original Employment letter. But i dont think they would reject. Maybe RFE. But if you are sure of getting it just apply with whatever you got. This way you will atleast get in the line and get EAD etc....

I am applying for my I485, my lawyer said I don\'t have to send any employment letter which anyway they will ask towards the end of processing as RFE. Should I send them employment letter still or listem to my lawyer. Would it save me from getting RFE if in case I get laid off?

my advise
Send all the papers while filing, in my opinion you lawyer in an idiot. all other lawyers complete all paperwork, they even send papers which are not required when they file 485 so that chances of getting an RFE are less, whatever document a case worker thinks of getting he has it with him -- so no RFE. do what you have to, wait if you have to but do not send your application without employement letter. imagine getting an RFE for employement and being without a Job at that time, in this economy you never know...

When did you get your RFE? I didn\'t send employment letter and wait for RFE. The lawer said the employment letter
just to verify the support to the dependent and you won\'t become public charge in the future. It should be no problem
you still have job at RFE time. Is that right?

I think this employer letter thingy is just to minimize the chances of getting RFE later. My lawyer also does NOT, typically, file the employer letter, but I asked him to do so in my case - for just in case! He told me that in the past he got a number of cases approved without the need of filing an employer letter. (Since I-485 is filed by you and not your company, I think it makes sense not to file the employer letter). Good luck!

I would never file an I-485 without an employer letter
Without the employer letter there is no showing of a continuing job offer from the sponsoring employer. Since the GC is employment based there must be a job offer. Filing without this showing seems to be asking for trouble.

Employment Based I-485
I am glad Jim that as a lawyer you can assert that the employer letter is needed. People are seeming to forget that most here are applying for "Employment Based I-485" and that labor certification and IV petition is done by the employer; hence a letter from the employer is necessary for I-485 filing.If the IIO has asked for the employer letter through a RFE it is entirely his or her goodness--I-485s have been denied for less weighty reasons as in the case of a filer who filed on 28 February when the PD became current a day later i.e. 1 March!

INS will have serious questions regarding the employer\'s intent and ability to pay the offered wage
