[CalmAll 0]

My usc fiance letter of employment does not state his salary, is this going to be okay?

[Katniss 1]

Is this for the affidavit of support?

[VOL 425]

Why doesn't he just do his own Letter of Employment?

[CalmAll 0]

Yes this is for the affidavit of support,

No, he does not need his salary information in the Affidavit of Support. He would have had to submit his tax information anyway to prove his income requirements for the K1 visa anyway.

No it's not ok. The whole purpose of the employment letter is to state the annual salary. If the salary is not listed, then the employment letter is worthless.

Not true. You need to list your current income (salary information) on question 7 of the I-134.

Yes you must submit your most recent tax return with the I-134. However, if the tax return shows you are below poverty guidelines but your current income is sufficient, then you need to prove to the CO that your income is enough. The best evidence of that is an employment letter and pay stubs.

Majority of time the employment letter does not need to state salary (the ITR anbd W2 state income), only that he is employed, only exception would be increase in salary and having marginal income before for meeting the I-864P requirements, but pay stubs will show that. +++ The employment letter is totally optional and not ask for the majority of the time, and probably even less so now with the changes in the instructions letter.

It is true, because you already state is on the I-134 and the tax returns/pay stubs. I NEVER put my salary information on the employment letter at all when I submitted my wife's K1 visa. I don't know what else you need when someone is below the poverty level at all since I was not even close to that.

If you don't want to put salary information on the employment letter, then why bother including it? If your salary information is already listed elsewhere, why would you not put it on the employment letter as well? I guess I don't see the point of the employment letter if it doesn't have the salary listed.

In my case, My most recent tax return was below the poverty guidelines and the employment letter and pay stubs were asked for.

... taadaa!

I didn't submit employer letter, just check stubs and copy of tax return. I also didn't submit photos, which supposedly are necessary and it got approved. On a side note I see Wisconsin looks like your future home, you will love it. You will spend 6 months a year hiding from the cold,but then have the best summers you can possibly imagine. I kind of wish my wife had came when I still lived there, she wanted to see snow when she first came but she thinks 40-50 is too cold so doesn't want to go see snow anymore. Good luck with your process!

Letter of employment still has merits without the salary since there

are other ways to validate the salary (W2, income tax filing, pay-stubs, bank deposits, etc.)

but it would have been better to have it.

Ideally the letter of employment should contain the following...such was the case for mine.

1) Company name

2) Brief company description

3) Your title/position

4) Your (good) standing with the company

5) Full or part time clarification

6) Annual salary (or hourly rate)

7) Date of hire

8) Date of the letter

9) HR (or other relevant company person) contact information

10) Hand signature of HR personnel
