Evidence of Support: letter of employment question

[Cwood81 0]

Concerning the evidence of support that will be provided with the I-134, is there a proper format as to how the "letter of employment on letterhead including salary and start date" should be? I would be asking someone to draft this letter so I want to make sure it has all the necessary information. For this business, this is the first time they have been requested to provide this type of information.

Is there a template or anything? What elements does it need to have?

Thank you so much in advance. This forum has always been incredibly helpful.

I don't know. I am seeking the same answer myself. Every one says just read the sites and articles. I haven't found anything yet to answer your question myself...

Really? Not complaining, but any reason why? Also, any updates on the Texas Service Center?

From the affidavit of support tips found through the guides section here >

Basically, your employer letter should state "To whom it may concern: (first name,last name) has been employed
full-time with the XYZ Company since 200_ as a (name of your job), and is an employee in good standing with an
annual salary of $XXXX. Signed, John Doe, Supervisor (or whatever title)" The letter should be on company
letterhead.

Your HR department should have a standard template they use.

Ideally, it must contain the following:

Your name

Title

Annual salary (usually not including any bonus, stocks, etc.)

Date the letter is issued (this is important to know that your employment is current)

HR manager/personnel that is issuing this letter

contact info for this HR person

It would be also good to have...

Your start date

Your full / part-time status

In my letter it also contained...

A short description of the company

And brief mention that I am in good standing with the company

Lastly...

Try to get this on a company letterhead (with company logo)

If you google, you can find many sample templates for this.

I work an hourly rate with no specific set hours. Should I take the last couple of years and average out my pay based on that for an annual salary? I thought about multiplying my hourly rate times an average of 60 hours, but figured that might seem like Im pushing it. Whats the best way to calculate an annual salary based on an hourly rate?
