abharga Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Has anyone had a case where USCIS called their former employer in India to verify employment details? I worked for my former employer in 2005(5 months), I don't know if they would respond negatively due to my manner of leaving, even though I do have an experience letter from one guy over there now who was kind enough to give it to me. I don't have any other secondary paperwork to show for it (my first month in the US - house burned down :/) so kind of worried. All of my other experience is documented and in the US. Link to comment
rahul412 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 USCIS will never call the employers, moreover USCIS doesn't have any connections with the employers outside US it only works with employers located in US. Link to comment
abharga Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks for the response Rahul. I plan to apply using the letter that I was provided even though my lawyers might not be too impressed. I have heard of cases where USCIS has called the former employers within US but was not sure about USICS calling employers in India to check. If I do get an RRE, I plan to withdraw my I-140/I-1485 application and change jobs and re apply. Thankfully my birth country is not India, so my priority is current, can afford to wait one more year before applying. Link to comment

rahul412 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 They could call previous employers, and they sometimes do. Yes, but not outside the US. Link to comment
JoeF Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Yes, but not outside the US. Well, they could do that even in such situations. The law allows for it. It is probably very rare, because of language and timezone issues. It would be easier if the company is a multi-national with offices in the US. Link to comment
