Obtaining an employment verification letter from the US citizen sponsor’s current employer is highly recommended when providing evidence and proof of income for your Affidavit of Support.
The employment verification letter should be original and printed on company letterhead. The letter should be signed by your supervisor or human resource person and should include a contact phone number.
The letter should state the following: starting date with the company, current employment status (full time, part time, contract, etc.), position title, annual salary or hourly wage. If you are paid by the hour, convert to annual salary.
Here is a sample letter, which you can provide to the employer when making this request.
