Employer refuses to give a letter confirming the employment

[Deux Ex Machina 0]

Our case is ready at the embassy and my fiancé works at one of the tech companies that are about to go through layoffs. Although his job is not currently in jeopardy, his company refuses to give him a letter that he is employed. Therefore he cannot fill out the I-864 Form.

 

Before we go in the direction of a joint sponsor, is there another way to prove the employment? A contract? Recent pay stubs?

 

Thanks in advance!

Why is he filling out a I-864 if you’re a K1 applicant? It’s form I-134.

 

Employment letter is not a requirement in order to fill out I-134 (or I-864 for that matter). It’s a nice piece of evidence to show he’s employed at X company and makes X amount of money, but it’s not a requirement to submit. I’d bring 6 months worth of pay stubs.

So sorry! I meant form I-134. 

 

So a letter is not a must? That's very reassuring to knowת Thank you!

Are there any documents that must be attached to I-134 form?

Evidence of sufficient income. It doesn’t specify what exactly. If the consulate sent a checklist, I’d see what they want you to bring there but again, they might just write I-134 which was the case for me. So I brought supporting evidence

We did both forms, and never had an employer letter.  Payslips are better evidence of employment.
