This will be quick and I just want to see what you all think. I have technically been employed by the same place since September 5, 2006. However I started as "on-call," meaning working full time and same pay just no benefits. I finally switched to full time the end of December. Do I just go ahead and have my employer put the start date as December since that was when I went full time? I am only asking because I was thinking it would look better if I had been there longer, but maybe I am overthinking this. Thanks for your help.

This is my opinion...I started my job in May of 2001 starting on as Per Diem staff. I changed my status to part time a few years later. When my employer wrote my Verification of Employment letter, they stated my original hire date and then my current status. I really don't think you need to list that you were only an on call employee at first and that you should use your orginal hire date with that company regardless what your status was when you were hired.

rebex05,

Your employer should describe your employment situation accurately, completely, and concisely.

You do not "have" your employer do anything, you ask them for the letter as described in the I-134 instructions and they provide what information they feel comfortable providing.

Will your employer give you a letter stating that you have been employed since 09/06/07? If so, then you put the start date in September. I can't understand why your employer wouldn't; just because you were not getting benefits, doesn't mean you were not employed. Good luck.

FutureMrs,

Being a temp is not as good as being a regular full-time employee, but it's not necessarily bad if you can show a history of consistently getting assignments and earning a good, steady income.

Yodrak

I am kinda in the same boat. I have been working at my job since January of 2001. I am a temporary working anywhere from 32-40 per week with no benefits. I am curious if it looks bad that I am a temp?

Ok thanks Yodrak!

I work for a community college as a GED Examiner and I have had steady income the whole time I have been here. I have also worked for Blockbuster on the weekends off and on for several years. The only reason I am classified as a temp is that I lack a BA degree which I will have next month and then on to finding a full-time and regular job. I do have a co-sponsor who makes way over the poverty guidelines so hopefully I will be safe. Thanks again for your much appreciated wisdom and advice!
