Experience Letter

[GCin2013]

Hi,

My empolyer is starting my perm and for that they need exp letters with roles and respnsibilities. I have workd for Major IT firms in India and they have given standard exp letter without any duties mentioned. when requested they declined saying that they can not give such letters. I checked with my manager he said he can mail me but can not give letter on letter head..What are my options? Please suggest..RFE at perm is the last thing that I want!!!

You definitely do not require experience letters for PERM filing. You need them while filing the I-140. So go ahead filing the PERM and mean time arrange the experience letters required from respective authorities.

Thats how it was in my case.

You can get affidavits from your colleagues who worked with you to prove your experience.

Generally, when detailed experience letters from former employers are not available USCIS will accept alternative documentation such as colleague affidavits, self affidavits and evidence of employment. If you have additional questions related to your specific circumstance it is advisable to speak with a qualified U.S. immigration attorney directly.

Hi Thanks All,

I appreciate all the insight you have given me. One last thing when you say affidavit, does it mean it has to be on stamp paper or can it be on plain paper but notorized from a Notary?

Thanks Again!

Notarized from a Notary.

On plain paper is fine??

Thanks for being so patient with me :)
