work verification letter

[whatsgoingon 1]

Hi everyone,

if a joint sponsor is being used does the (petitioner) sponsor have to provide a work verification letter?

[JFH 12,190]

Only if they think it will help. So if it's a new job, for example, and they don't have much work history to show in their tax returns then it's useful to have a letter from the employer confirming the position and salary. Or if they recently had a promotion or a raise. But it's not necessary. Just the tax info suffices.

The petitioner is not including tax returns for the last 3 years because she was a full time student and not working.

She will include a statement for why she wasn't required to file taxes.

She only started working back in march of this year, so does she still require the work verification letter?

Also the petitioner does have a work history prior to the last 3 years

Doesnt matter.

Doesnt matter.

sorry what do you mean?

doesn't matter, she still needs to provide the letter?

or doesn't matter, the letter is not needed?

Doesnt matter.

As for the other part, again it doesn't matter. She can provide it or not. It won't make a difference unless you're trying to not use a joint sponsor.
