Ok, I just want to avoid a problem before it happens. But I'm also not sure if it would be a problem, so I wanted to ask everyone. Also, I looked through the boards to see if there was already a question like this, but I couldn't find one. If I missed it...I'm sorry :P

I've been at my current place of employment for almost a year. A year April 1st actually. So this was my place of employment that I listed when I filed the I-129f. My question is, I've recently been approached about a much higher paying job. If I were hired on, it would hopefully be within the next month. I would be able to use my home computer while working, not in an office. So, no direct communication with human resources. Obviously I would still request a letter from them stating my position and rate of pay. But would this cause a problem so close to our interview date? Would I still need a letter from my employer right now to show that I have had a steady income for the past year? Or will a letter from my bank showing how much has been deposited be enough?

I've only stayed in this job because of the K-1 process. I wasn't sure if it would look bad against me only working here for a short time. But like I said, its a significant increase in my pay and would help when Craig gets here. Or is just plain, 'not safe', to start a new job so close to the date?

This might be a lame question, but, its better to be safe than sorry, right? :) Especially so close to our wedding date.

I would say that if you are making more money-it shouldn't be held against you............I would still get a letter from the old employer to show that you have been there a while. Don't forget a few pay stubs, and a letter from your bank. I would say you should be fine. If I find a better paying job, you bet I will be outta this place :yes:

A letter from the new employer would be a bonus too(maybe listing salary and job title)!!!!

Good luck-I am sure the other vjers will give you some great advice!!!

it would be good to have a letter from the employer at the time of interview..

going thro the forums you will note at the interview they dont even bother to ask about the letter it is one of the requirements for I134 or bank statement or mortgage deed should help

Thanks everyone for the replies! I wasn't sure if it would be a problem that the employer on the application might be different from where I'd be working at the time of the interview. But from what you guys said, it shouldn't be. No matter what, I'll get a letter from my current employer, and if I do change jobs, I'll get one from them as well. You know what they say, "CYA" :D

And thank you for all the well wishing :) ...keep your fingers crossed! Getting this job could sure help out with a lot of things!

It doesn't matter where you are working or how long you have been there as long as you have the required paperwork - for a new job your letter of employment or employment contract should show everything that you need, plus as many pay stubs as you've acquired in the new job to show that they're actually paying you what they said they would.
