Employment Letter - will letter given for US green card work?

[jazzmanvd]

Hello

I worked for Accenture way back in 2012. It has been hard to get a hold of HR in this climate to ask for an employment letter.
I do have a very detailed employment letter that I used for Green Card Application in 2016. Could I use that? or will that work against me?

Thank you!

Letter should be current but you can explain why you can't get a new one in a letter of explanation , no problems.

Now coming to the content of your letter if it fits the right form asked by IRCC then you should not worry , keep in mind that the letter need to specify your position title, period of employment ( from when to when) , hours worked per week , your salary and benefits and all your duties and responsibilities, it also should include the name of your supervisor or HR with all contact details( must be current) , finally it must bear an official letter head of the company, stamped and signed.

If the reference letter have all the above-mentioned info then you should be okay, if there is something missing like number of hours worked ( can get you in review required by the officer) or for example if the officer can't match the content of your letter with your NOC then you could face rejection, I advice you to check if it matches perfectly before using it, if everything is okay then you are good to go.

Thank you! really detailed response Since my NOC is 2174 - my letter would need to have these details correct? https://countrywidevisas.com/find-national-occupation-code/noc-code-2174-computer-programmers-and-interactive-media-developers/

You are welcome, yes your responsibilities should match with NOC 2174 , not exactly 100 % but at least enough to tell that your job is exactly the NOC you claimed.
