That should probably be OK. I know in my case, I print mine from our company website, so they end up looking like photocopies or scans anyway, they aren't in color or anything.

Should be on company letterhead, should include the employee's name, how long she's worked there, her income (either hourly, monthly, or yearly), whether the position is full time or part time, and that it's a permanent position (not temporary). I recommend that this letter be an original, with an original signature.

It's in the I-864 instructions .....

Re: DCF Procedure Questions
 

Thank you.

Here is what it says in there:

You may include evidence supporting your claim about your expected income for the current year if you believe that submitting this evidence will help you establish ability to maintain sufficient income. You are not required to submit this evidence, however, unless specifically instructed to do so by a Government official. For example, you may include a recent letter from your employer, showing your employer's address and telephone number, and indicating your annual salary. You may also provide pay stub(s) showing your income for the previous six months. If your claimed income includes alimony, child support, dividend or interest income, or income from any other source, you may also include evidence of that income.

I'm sure it will be easy to get the pay stubs emailed to us before the interview but getting a letter from the sponsor's employer at such short notice could be pretty tricky.

Would it be worth just getting the payslips?

Thanks

Re: DCF Procedure Questions
 

The anecdotal evidence indicates that a lot of people are specifically instructed to do so by a Government official.

But you have found the section that tells you what the letter from the employer should include!

Re: DCF Procedure Questions
 

It's true that the instructions say "may include..." It's up to you to decide to include them or not, and it's up to the ConOff to request them or not.

I usually take a "better safe than sorry" approach. Since you have limited time, go ahead and get the scanned copies of the pay stubs, and possibly a scanned letter from the employer, if you can. If the ConOff wants to see originals or see something else, she will let you know at the interview, and will give you time to obtain it.
