employer letter

[Paul123 0]

Hi everyone,

I started this thread in the wrong forum by accident, so I'm pasting it in the proper one:

I have a bit of a dilema and Ive asked about it before but never really got an answer, probably cause I usually overload my posts with multiple questions lol..

Its about my employer letter. I work for a contractor in a seasonal position. My hours vary week to week and what I make in a year does too. Ive only ever met my boss twice, I work under a supervisor. But theres no way I can give a number for an annual salary since it varies as does my hours per week. I could give an hourly rate but I dont see how that helps. Getting this letter in the first place is going to be a big pain in the butt, It took me over a month just to get the correct amount in a paycheck that I received over the summer. So do I really even need it if I am using a co-sponsor who more than qualifies and if so, What should I do about my annual salary? To make matters more complicated, my job really isnt guaranteed because my boss doesnt know if he will pick up the same contract next spring which means, I may not even be hired back. Any suggestions?

The more information you have the better but I do not think the letter of employment is mandatory.

Paul, they didn't keep the letter from my fiance's employer I had with me for my interview in Rio; they were only interested in seeing tax returns and W-2s. You can check with others who've had their interviews in Rio in the past few weeks if the same happened to them.
