Employment Letter for military personnel?

[C_Ven 0]

Hi Everyone!! I hope you can help us!!

For the affidavit of support, they ask you to provide a letter of employment from the petitioner. My husband is in the military and we provided them with orders for his current station which is in San Diego. Our interview is coming up and we are wondering whether this will be fine. Has anyone had any experience with this and what did you provide as an employment letter? Look forward to receiving your feedback! thanks!

your husband should be able to get one from his unit. it usually state his rank, contract expiry, salary.. just the basic employment status.

Please read in this forum, before you ask any questions. Not trying to be rude, but this question has been answered many times. They don't really need a letter from his employer when he's in the military. A current LES should be enough.

That wasn't rude. Everyone else would have told you too, to look through before. It is in this military forum and was last answered in October. It doesn't take much effort to look for the answer before everyone opens as new thread for the SAME question. But anyways, good luck.

My now husband was in Japan when we got our k-1 together and somehow I think lost the letter of employment. We used copy of his most recent orders and worked out fine

If you are going to be needlessly rude to someone not familar with the site or what questions have already been asked, at least try to make sure your information is correct. Granted the OP could have found the answer with a search, but this is not the first time you have been incorrect in giving out information in the Military Discussion threads.

If you even read the link you provided (which was helpful btw) you would know that the LES isn't always enough, many people on here have had to get an employment record while in the Military. Often called a Proof of service letter, or Statement of Service letter and I've seen people get theirs online, or their Finance Office or even their S1s (I got mine there) depending on branch of service.

So no, your answer was neither polite, helpful nor correct. Often times, the LES has not been enough, many of us have had to provide this 'letter from employer' however, with this being said, the liklihood you need it for the interview is less than for the packets, but to discount it completely and just bring an LES would be at your own risk and at the discretion of your interviewer which differ by location. There have been enough people post in these threads that it was required to tell me to get one AND an LES.

That wasn't the first time I gave an incorrect answer? LoL. u am not perfect. The answers I am providing is based on my completed greencard progress and worked out without any RFE's. so please tell me how I can be incorrect about something I've already done? Now, that's rude. It's incredible how people trying to attack other that are here to help. I provided a link that basically gave them the answer to their question. That's all. Also, if they want more information, and you did say that they don't always do, they send your an RFE and don't deny your petition.

Very disrespectful. Whatever you say doesn't really matter to me. I sincerely tried to help you like I help others here. Good luck with your petition. That will be last thing I will say to this subject here.

Im sorry, your link was helpful too, this has gone too far, i apologize. I was just a little taken aback by your initial responce and the tone in which you gave me your help. I did find helpful information from your link however and so I definately say thankyou for that. Im sure you didnt mean to be rude, but as someone just innocently seeking help, it felt like it was rude to me.

Anyways! Thankyou
