We requested the verification for employment letter from my wife's employer to include it with all the forms when filling for AOS.

The whole process considerably delayed the filling of AOS papers, because her company HR department was very reluctant to release such information and needed us to sign a release of information form that will be reviewed by the company's legal department.

All that back and forth talk, signing of papers, emails and phone calls took about 1 month before we were finally able to get it in hands.

Needless to say it was very frustrating!

So I will advised you to request it asap, especially if the company you are requesting it from is very huge on protocol.

Otherwise it could be a nightmare!

Mine was dated within one month of the interview. However, when I tried to give the letter to the consular peeps during my fiancee's interview (I was there), they didn't even want it. But I'm definitely not telling you not to get one. I think Vuvu zela made a good point; I would just say make it as close as possible to the interview.

There might be some info in the Gh packet about it.
