[EVL for PERM]
My last employer's HR department is being a pain and say they're not authorized to sign customized Employment Verification Letters. How did you get around that?
I have a couple other letters, but need this letter to meet the total years of experience required for the job position on the PERM.

Forge it. It’s not like you’re lying. USCIS is not going to call your last employer and ask them about the letter. If they call them up at all, it’ll be to verify the duration of your employment and that will be true anyway.

In all the cases I have seen in past several years, letter from an old colleague/manager worked fine however, some attorneys want it notarized.

In my case an email from old colleague worked fine but recently, I gave the letter to one of my direct reportees and his firm wanted it notarized.

Very helpful! Thank you :)

You can get a signed letter from your last manager

Thank you both! Really appreciate the insight :)
I got the email stating that and forwarded it to the law firm

Can’t you ask your manager or supervisor to sign on a plain paper if that is acceptable.

Yes . But definitely check with the current law firm who is filing PERM.

Its very common for example Wipro doesn't do it if you resign here in US. A silly and stupid way they think they are punishing people for resigning. Dont worry, get a experience letter signed by any of your old colleagues, it should be sufficient.

Even if it's not on paper head?

A1 - was your last employer KPMG?

No, it was industry not consulting

Hey OP, I’m in the same situation. My previous employer sent me experience letter in an email using their official email but they are not providing it on paper head. Would a print out of that email work?
