Is it necessary for the I-130 beneficiary to provide an employment letter at the the
time of the interview to the Consulate officer? If yes, what needs to be included on
the letter?

Thx in advance for comments,

I believe most consulates prefer (require?) a letter. I misread the I-864
instructions I was sent from the US consulate in London, UK and only brought payslips
with me. I was asked for a letter from my employer.

I think the letter just needs to be simple, probably on company letterhead would be
best. Your name, salary, that the position is full-time(?), the name of your
supervisor. I'm just guessing here. I doubt it needs to be elaborate, all they want
to do is verify your employment.

My wife was given her visa without my having a letter but that's another story.

Hi,
When you say beneficiary, do you mean the "foreign" spouse
If so, and I can only speak for London, but the answer is No.
At the interview "they" are not really interested in your UK employment.
Also they are well aware that a large % of us "aliens" do not have a job to go to, hence the I-864 affadavit.

good luck

Here is a copy of the employement letter that I sent in with my 134. It must be on
company letter head. I made a copy to include in the package so I can have the
original if needed later.

I think in INS terms the beneficiary always refers to the "alien" or "foreign" spouse

LOL I am trying to get my boss to give me $0.30 a month but he is telling me that is
a 25% raise and not to hold my breath.
