Hi Everyone,

Would appreciate if someone forwarded me a sample appointment letter that I need from my company for the CP Interview. I heard there is a little different language that we need to use. My case has been pending for 3 years.

Please forward me the letter at rsnarayan@yahoo.com

Questions about Employment Letter.

I need sample employment letters too.

Can someone please post sample appointment letter in this thread, or point me to the thread where these samples have been posted.

Few other questions:

Whom should this employment letter be addressed to?

Which salary should be mentioned in this letter. Should it be the salary in ETA-750 (labor certification), or my current salary. My current salary is about 5K higher than the salary declared in labor certification. Please let me know if it might be a problem if my current salary is 5K higher than the salary declared in Labor Certification.

Should the letter explicitly mention that I an currently employed in this position, and if the Immigrant Visa is granted, then I would come back and resume in this position? Or should it say that an offer has been made to me, and that I would join this position after the approval of immigrant Visa. In other words, the first option is to mention that I am currently employed in the same Company in the same position, and the second option is not to mention at all that I am currently employed in the Same Company in the same position, and only say that I would join this position once the Immigrant Visa is approved.

Should the job duties be described in the letter. Should this description match verbatim, the job description given in ETA-750 (Labor Certification Petition).

Thanks
Sanjay

For future job, it will pay you *at least* what is mentioned in the ETA-750. It should not be a problem, if a higher salary is mentioned.

One more question about the employment letter:

DO I need to get two ORIGINAL letters for myself and my wife. Or is one original good enough, and I just take a photocopy for my wife. By the way, my wife would be entering USA 3 months after my entry. Under this circumstance, should I take another original for her, or is a photocopy good enough.

Waiting for someone to answer.

It is not necessary to make any special effort to get an extra original.

One original is good enough. A photo copy goes into your wife's set of papers
at the interview. She does not have to carry this document on her journey.

Once you get your VISA packets, leave a copy of your Immigrant Visa
with her to carry and show at the POE if necessary.

Alren,

thanks a lot for your help,

And I do apologize, about what you pointed out about my comment in the other thread.

Yes, you did say "*at least* what is mentioned in the ETA-750. It should not be a problem, if a higher salary is mentioned". You did NOT say that the "current-salary needs to be mentioned".

Should have read more carefully before commenting.

What's the need for writing this line.If your employer is not admant about it,leave this line in my opinion.
"Please note that, ABC Corp. reserves the right to terminate this appointment at any time, with or without cause or advance notice"
Although the terms and conditions are always like this but still.....

Anushri, thanks for your input.
My employer requires to put in a clause which indicates that my employment is not "indefinitely permanent". Even I do not want to include that clause.

This is one of the reasons why I posted the draft here, so as to get inputs and opinions.

Hi Guys,

Below is what I received from my HR. Will this suffice?

*********************************
July 20, 2004

American Consulate General
Immigrant Visa Unit
Chennai, India

Dear Sir/Madam:

This letter serves to confirm our continuing intention to employ XXX at YYYY upon the approval of her immigrant visa application and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the I-140 immigrant petition. XXX is a full-time regular employee, on an at-will basis and holds the position of ZZZ for our company. She will continue to receive an annual salary of at least $$$$.

XXX is a highly qualified TTTTT and her prospective services are of vital importance to YYYY. Please approve her immigrant visa application at the earliest possible date.

Sincerely,

*********************************

Also the letter HR gave has a "California All Purpose Acknowledgement" attached. I mean there's no notary seal next to your signature and on the same page. Not sure if this will serve the purpose of notarization.

Any comments welcome.

The 2 key things are covered.
  • "pursuant to terms and condition of 140
  • salary of at least $$$ (which I assume is what is mentioned in the labor.
Don't know about the California seal. But usually you need the notarization on the same page.
 
"pursuant to terms and condition of 140" you mean to say this covers everything like job desc., etc.? I'm worried about the letter not having job desc., date of joing the company, info. about the company, number of employess, etc.

"salary of at least $$$." No this is the salary I currently receive. That's 10K more than the Labor version.

"Don't know about the California seal. But usually you need the notarization on the same page" When asked the HR wrote back: The letter you have HAS been notarized -- the form attached is the notary acknowledgment.

Hmm! Normally I have seen 2 varients, will be paid $XXX (where XXX is the current salary) or will be paid *at least* $XXX (where XXX is the labor salary). I do not know if this should be a problem. I would think not.

Again don't know. Ping some CA people.

Also, if you are having something changed in the letter, it might be good to change "holds ZZZ position" to "will hold ZZZ position" as this is an offer letter for a future job. Again, this is just nit-picking, I would think that even this should not be a problem.
