employers letter at london interview

[8xeno8 1]

i keep reading in the embassy interview reviews that people are asked for their employment letter as well as the affadavits and support forms.

is it necessary to have a letter from my employer? and what is the reason please?

Thing is, i gave up my job back in may because i have enough money to see me through no problem. so i dont have any kind of employment letter. :S Hope this isnt a problem

hi, we also did something similiar. chris(UK)benificiary, left his job in nov 2011 and i(US)petitioner, filled a letter from employer stating my wage and hours. we had our embassy interview march 2012. i think they are looking for proof of finances but i cant begin to guess the reasoning the USCIC uses. good luck.

I believe if you are the Petitioner you are required to provide proof of support which can very from Consulate to Consulate. However, from what I have been able to glean from the DOS web site and here is that at a minimum you, as Petitioner, must provide the I-134 Affidavit, your most recent (2011) Tax Return and a current letter from your employer stating dates worked, F/T or P/T and your salary. I will be providing much more because in perusing these boards I have yet to see anyone denied or given a 221g for providing too much evidence.

He can order tax transcripts on line and he will get them in about a week, no charge. I ordered the past four years. I think for self employed you go with your tax returns and maybe a letter indicating self employment.

IRS.GOV

the petitioner may request free copies of the IRs transcripts. they will be mailed to him/her in 5-10 business days. as for the being self employed i imagione him/her writing a statement to that fact would suffice so long as it included all of the info that is being requested

Just another comment. I am not self employed and make well above the poverty guidelines. In Packet 3 I will be providing my I-134, 2011 IRS 1040, 2011 IRS Tax Transcript. 2009-2011 IRS K-1 Form 1056 (like a W-2), a letter from my employer and copies of my paychecks from January 2012 to the present. For the interview I will have available for my fiancee all of my most recent bank statements, tax returns for years 2008-2010, investment accounts etc. Is it overkill? Probably but, I have all this stuff so why not have it available just in case? And as I said above, I've yet to read of someone being denied for having too much evidence. This is serious stuff and I am preparing it accordingly. Good luck to you.

I don’t think a beneficiary’s employer letter is required…. It does not make any sense.

Letter or salary slip from sponsor makes sense to me.

I believe the Tax Transcripts you get from the IRS are good. You order them online or by phone and they mail them to you. As far as being legal, I don't know what that means, they come from the IRS so Isuspect they're legit. Also, if you submit them with a copy of the 1040 they will be able to see that AGI matches up.

yes im talking about sponsor ..if you are talking with me

The beneficiary doesn't need to show proof of employment. In some embassies they are asked for any evidence of any financial contributions the beneficiary may provide.

The sponsor's requirements are listed on the I-134.

To the OP, you are better off heading to the regional forum for the UK since things are embassy specific at this point.

There's also a large 'NOA2 to Interview' thread at the top of the page which can be accessed by clicking here

For the I-134 the affidavit requires two pieces of supporting information,

If your USC petitioner wants to request copies of tax transcripts, the iPhone app (free) will actually do it, and they'll generally arrive in a week.

Just to add, YOU as the beneficiary MUST have signed original copies with you for the interview . Hate to sound patronising but this one does come up and I'd rather not see anyone denied for it!
