Offer Letter from New Employer

[Chicago22 0]

HI,

I recently got a new job, just have not started just yet. They presented me with an offer, including date, nature of employment, and starting salary in a formal letter. Is this document sufficient enough to present to the consulate? Or must I ask for another statement regarding employment. Any suggestions? Thanks.

As far as I understand it, an offer letter is not the same as a letter of employment. A letter of employment should say when you actually started working for the company while the offer letter is just a proposal.

Thanks. That's what I thought.

In our case this was enough! When we applied for the K-1, my husband was still at another job. By the time the interview came around, he was just about to start a new job. I brought the formal acceptance letter that you mentioned and a severance pay from the old job along with me to my interview. I also brought bank statements which showed how much money my husband had in the bank.

Sooo, you should be fine with that letter!

Oh, to make it clear - I brought the offer letter along with the acceptance letter. Do you have the acceptance letter?

I just double checked all of the documents i used for the K-1 and see both letters.

You can present anything you want to the Consulate. The letter will speak for itself. Whether it will be of any use to you will depend on what other evidence you have to convince the officer your fiance won't become a public charge.

In short, you haven't provided enough information to get a useful answer. As a result, your question itself has little meaning.

In short, your wrong! I got my useful answer. What I meant to ask was, "Can the offer letter be a subsitute for the statement of your employer?" Straighttalk??? More like Whatyoutalkingabout!

I'm happy for you that somebody made the correct assumption about what you intended to ask. Again, the letter will speak for itself. It will not say what an Employer letter would say. You have not provided enough information for us to determine whether it will add to your evidence in any beneficial way.

For instance, if the start date is after the interview date, you'll have no pay stubs to back up the fact you started working. If you've already started the job, and have pay stubs the combination of the two is probably enough to cover any questions about current income. In that case, the letter is secondary to the pay stubs.

The Consular officer is going to look at the totality of the evidence they see.

In our case there were no recent pay stubs either. I brought my husband's last 2 pay stubs from before he was laid off. He received a severance pay and I brought that with me too. My interview was Feb 2. He started his new job on Feb 1 so there was no pay stub for that job yet. The offer letter and acceptance letter was enough - the letters stated what he would be making each month and how often he would get paid.

Again, you've provided more information than the OP. At least, your husband's start date was before the interview, even if only one day. Germany is not the Philippine Islands. Your husband had a previous job with severence pay. We don't know anything about any prior employment for the OP.

He may have all the evidence he needs and he may not. Unless we know the totality of the evidence and circumstances are similar in all material elements, we cannot project a result. I'm not trying to be difficult or throw cold water on a happy party. I just don't want the OP drawing the wrong conclusions based on too little information.

It was enough for me, doesn't always translate to it will be enough for you.
