Is this employment letter good enough?

I am after 180 days and I get a new job. But my new employer can't hire me in a permanent basis until I get my green card. They can only hire me as a full-time temp first and turn me into a perm when my green card is approved.

Do you think an employment letter like the one below signed by them will be good enough for Employment RFE?

Best to consult attorney

It is best to consult an attorney. Pay the consultation fee; it is worth it. This is especially due to requirements like these:

From MurthyChat:

Chat User : For a future, employment-based GC filing, when is it safe to work for the future employer? Is the 180-day rule applicable?

Attorney Murthy : One should work at the time of obtaining the GC but, if the INS schedules an interview for the candidate, the INS examiner will expect the person to be working for that employer already in order to approve the I-485. Else the examiner may request about two months of pay stubs before agreeing to approve the AOS.
 
there are many available. Some take up only corporate clients. many take individual cases. you should go more with quality and skill of the lawyer than the location, IMHO. Murthy, Shusterman are well known. look at lawyers in fragomen.com usvisanews.com or basically do a google search. wont take more than a half hr of your time.

good luck...
 
I heard

Mr Rajiv Khanna's team is also very good. I guess he is in Chicago, but he handled a friend (who was in OKlahoma)'s case, so it should not matter.

Also, Mr. Dale Warner, ESQ is our lawyer who is quite reputed in the Bay area
 
I know how to use Google but it won't tell me whether this lawyer is good or not. That's why I need recommendation.

Among the lawyers you mentioned, only Fragomen is based in Silicon Valley. However, my sponsoring company already used them to represent me. And they still have tight control over my files at Fragomen. So I think I need to replace them with another lawyer.
 
Thanks for your suggestions! :) You guys are great!!!

Anyway, I paid my lawyer $500 to continue my case, so I hope from now on I can sleep happy. :)
