I think it's great and it has all the information you need there. Did the president of the company you work for really write "He'll always have a position in our company?"

no, I wrote the whole thing. He just signs it.

Should I change it to "Andrew will always have"?

Aaaah. I don't think he'll say that you will always have a position there because there is no way you know that. Do you agree? I'd rewrite it like this:

Andrew ***** ******* has been a trusted employee of Greentree ******* Corporation since April 26, 2004, a total of over two and a half years, He has a full-time position as a Loan Specialist.

What do you think?

yeah! that looks good.

I'm preparing all this information with dates most likely 2 months before her interview. I'm leaving on October 13th to go and spend time with her until her interview, which I'll be attending. Do you think this will be a problem?

I don't know. I've contacted the consulate in Rio to know how long I-134 and the supporting documents were good for and they said "a year" - but I've heard that some other embassies/consulates will say 3-5 months. But then again, I had them dated a month or so before the interview. Why don't you contact Poland and ask them? And... are there any other VJers going through Poland? Have you tried the regional forum? At this stage, getting input from them would be important.

It's been suggested that I go to the regional forum before, maybe I'll take the advice this time. I just don't think that there are many going through the same Embassy. I know of 2 people who have been helping me through PM's. I'll try. Thanks Mew.

For clarification of all reading this thread, the employment letter needn't make any references to job stability. It only need state the job is permanent - or full time - or part time - or whatever the actual deal is!

If you are paid hourly, it should state the number of hours per week and the wage rate. Salary should be stated by the monthly rate. A summation of the annual earnings such as Andy did is also relevant.

Most employers these days would be unwilling to sign any type of statement as to future job retention. Many have written policy against such. But that's not an issue for your approval - the consulates just need to know the pertinent facts.

As we've got a small discussion here about regional differences - they are important! Some consulates in third world countries or high-fraud posts are more particular about the financial picture of the petitioner. In those cases the more data, the more assets, and more stable the petitioners finances, the better. Knowing your consulate is always a proactive thing to do.
