K1-Affidavit Support- Employment Letter

[Arlette 0]

I'm a teacher. My employer cannot put permanent on my verification of employment letter. It's their policy. What can I do? Should I insist? Do you think it'll matter all that much?

 

Note: My employer has also provided me a letter that states that before I was a full-time teacher, I was a substitute teacher from 2013-2019. So it shows that I've been with my employer for years. 

 

Thanks!

Usually if not a new employee the employer letter isn't needed, this may vary by embassy .. you profile and timeline are void of the country info.

Supporting evidence for an I-134.

My fiancé’s and i129f is in the process with USCIS. I resigned from my previous job where I worked for 3.5 years, and am starting a new job. Any advice for what I should do with my employment situation?

Nothing as long as it is a better paying job.  You don't do financials until you get to the consulate.

It doesn't need to say permanent. Just that you work there at whatever rate of pay and how long that you have worked there.

thanks for replying y'all. 

 

update:

1. my fiance will be is from South Africa. 

2. i went to my employer and asked again. They refused and said that a copy of my contract was the best they could do. My contract says probationary so I guess that means temporary. I will also submit the email thread as evidence that I've requested this info, but they refuse.

Don't do that. I'm not sure where you got the idea that they have to say "permanent" in their letter. As I stated previously they just need to say your pay rate, that you currently work there, and how long you have worked there. That's it. They obviously would never write a letter like that saying that someone is "permanently" employed by them because if they do have to let that person due to budget cuts or performance issues it would turn into a legal thing.

The instructions for the i-134 literally and specifically request this info: permanent or temporary. I’ve attached a picture. 
 

Im not overly concerned on this matter. Overall my case is strong. I have good tax returns, plenty of money in savings, good life insurance, good job history, but the simple fact that it’s in the instructions make me want to cross my t’s and dot my i’s.

Honestly I think you will be fine as long as your job history does not show that you are changing jobs every 3 months or have large gaps in between jobs and your income is more than sufficient.

 My letter did not say permanent (which they should know would usually be impossible in most circumstances for the reasons I stated) and I was approved without it even being questioned. I think including correspondence where you asked for this would just draw unnecessary attention to it.
