letter from employer

[Clara 0]

I'm not comfortable telling my employer or co-workers I'm getting married, atleast not at the moment. I was wondering if there are any other reasons you would ask your boss for a letter stating your salary, position, etc. ?

Tell them that you want it for Afficavit of Support for visa for your relative

You want to get a loan

[Nanusia & Lukaszek 0]

There are a variety of reasons:

Getting a mortgage

Leasing new place

Buying a car

Basically any financial situation, that wants to verify you make what you say you make.

Why the secret?

My employer was very supportive.

I understand where you're coming from. I live in a very small town and I don't want everyone to know about the wedding (except for my family) until he gets back. I don't want to explain the whole visa process to everyone I talk to. I figured it would be easier once he was here for good. Also, my employer is one of my college instructors and I don't feel comfortable discussing that with him. I think I'm going to go with the loan story. If they call to verify and mention it to my boss, oh well, I'm busted. But nothing on the employer letter would be a lie, so I don't see the problem.

I thought I was the only one worried about that .

I'd just ask. Why give a reason? If they ask, its for personal reasons to verify employment. They have no right to ask. With all the legalities of employer/employee relations, Im not sure they'd even ask. But just state personal reasons with confidence. Good luck.

One reason for asking for such a letter could be to use it to negotiate a salary with a new employer. For most people, I think it's better to give a more specific reason, even if it isn't the whole reason. Some examples have already been given.

I understand the desire for privacy but involvement of more people than the couple in knowledge of the relationship is helpful in showing evidence of bonafide ongoing relationship. At work is not important but if at least some family is not involved, you could potentially have trouble down the road.

One reason for keeping an engagement or marriage hush hush is because it is a fraud. Showing that yours is not, is your responsibility.

I think it is important that the letter indicate (if you are paid hourly) how many hours you work each week and how much you are paid each hour.

I don't keep people in my office udpated on things mainly because the questions get a bit old after awhile. And re-explaining the process for the 4500th time doesn't really add to my productivity at the office.

Plus, what if you don't want to end up feeling compelled to invite people to the wedding?

Or for your employer to fire you because he thinks you're going to move soon and leave anyway?

I can think of 1000 reasons to stay rather mum about it. Most of which wouldn't lead to conclusions of fraud later on.

I agree completely but the keyword is "most". The USC needs to be responsible for making sure their reasons won't.
