Affidavit of support-No employer letter

[Cami94 0]

Gathering stuff after just receiving our NOA2. We need a co-sponsor and my fiances mom has agreed to be one. He explained it all to her. She said she wouldn't be able to get a letter from her employer because they have a "strict policy". I'm not sure if shes just saying this because she doesn't want to ask. I'm hoping this wont be an issue because without a co-sponsor we wont have a chance of being approved, my fiance makes just under the required amount. He would be able to provide everything needed for the affidavit of support, his mom can provide everything but an employer letter. (tax returns, W2, paystub) If it was really an issue they could always call to confirm?

Any help anyone could offer or personal experience would be great, Thanks!

I had to send them a letter from my employer PLUS one from my mother's employer too along with 3 years of taxes for each of us. Human Resources should take care of it for her-I can't imagine a company having a strict policy on confirming employment! Maybe talking to her to explain how important this is and that she really needs to ask for it. It has to be on a company letterhead too. At least this is what I was told from the person handling my paperwork. It would be awful if you sent them everything BUT that letter and they wrote you back saying they needed it-then you would have lost time in this long process.

Good luck!

Yeah I cant imagine either...but he's saying his mom can't get it. He has no one else that can sponsor us and hes hoping this long list of paper work that she needs to provide doesn't scare her off from doing it. Without this we're screwed. Apparently the co-sponsor also needs to provide copy of their birth certificate or passport bio page, to prove they are a citizen? My fiance was telling me the W2 provides everything that confirms employment and salary and that a letter shouldn't be needed. I don't know I'm just getting worried, I need to be prepared for the interview so we aren't denied I'm so happy we got our NOA2 but this is all so stressful. I wont feel better until I have the visa in my hand and I'm on the plane heading to my fiance!

Letter from employer is not a requirement. Her taxes and recent pay stubs should suffice.
