Semantics in Letter of Employment

[celiothrkn 0]

I am in-between jobs. My first day of my new job starts on Jan 5, 2010. I've already signed the employment contract.

For my letter of employment, should I have the HR dept. write me one now, in which it would say "So-and-so will be employed as a full-time employee starting Jan 5, 2010?"

Or should I wait until Jan 6th and then have HR write a letter that says "So-and-so has been employed as a full-time employee since Jan 5, 2010?"

It's really just a question of semantics, and I was wondering if one way would be better than the other. Would NVC care?

Our IV package is already done, so the only thing I need is my AOS package to complete the NVC phase of my CR1. My spouse and I were hoping to finish the NVC process of my CR1 as soon as possible. If we decide to wait until Jan to send the letter of employment, we'd be adding something like 3-4 weeks to (unnecessary) wait time.

Maybe sending in the employment contract would be better. Worst case, you get an RFE.

I suggest both.

Do the one with 'will be' , include in the I-864 packet set, send it in with the NVC electronic filing thing, now.

Then, have the one with 'has been' available on interview day @ GUZ, with a complete I-864 set - and have her GIVE IT TO THE VO across the window thing - don't give it to the screener prior.

Tell the VO - I've an updated I-864 - here it is. Then Hand it over.

Good Luck !!
