Hi guys.

Due to my husbands upcoming deployment we have decided to slow our visajourney down and are shooting for an interview in july/august instead.

I'm planning on going to see him in the US for 3 weeks before he deploys and I'm terrified I'll be refused entry, that would just break my (and my hubbys) heart.

So my question is now, what should the leter from my employer and landlord say?

Should I just bring my employmentletter and rent-agreement, which both are in swedish, or should I have them write a letter in english and explain that I'm expected back, or should I have both... or ... or ... or.

I'll also be bringing a letter from my husbands "boss" saying when he is deploying etc.. and our NOA's and the e-mails from NVC and the e-mails I'v recived from my embassy discussing the possibility to change my interview date.

I really need some help here, as I'm getting really upset just by thinking of the possibility to not see my husband before he ships off to Afghanistan.

Thank you in advance guys!

Take Care!

The letters need to be in English, if you can have them write in English, then great. If not, have them write in Swedish and have them translated

Your employment letter should say - according to the guidelines the CBP gave me when I was denied entry

It should be on company letterhead by your boss or HR dept.

The date it was written

The date you started working

Your salary (optional if you ask me)

Your position title

Your immediate boss and contact information

Your expected return date

Address of employer - if not on letterhead.

Your letter from your landlord should say - again according to the letter CBP gave me

landlord name and contact information

date letter was written

date you moved in

date of termination of the lease

rent amount paid

address of the residence

Your lease and letter from employer are good, what about utility bills? bank account information? Any obligations coming up (wedding invite, doctor's apt card, etc).

Good luck, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Thank you so much for your reply! Atleast now I know how the letters should be written!

Don't really have any utility-bills,they are all baked in to my rent.

What kind of bankaccount info would they want to see?

I don't have a termination date of my lease, I just have a 3 months notice deal going on, so I'll probably just ask him to state that and write that up to this date I have not given any notice that I'll be moving out.

And I'll look around and see if anyone wants to invite me to a wedding! :)

Thank you again, you helped put my mind at ease a bit!
