The company that I worked for was a small consulting firm (4 employees including owner) and we worked out of the client's office. When the owner issued my Reference Letter, he just put his House Address on it, as he does not have an office.
I was wondering if anybody else was in the same situation? I read somewhere that an officer made a comment about company address being residential and needed explanation. I would be appreciated if you guys can share your experience.

Yes, some people have had a problem with this type of arrangement in the past, since the VO won't be able to find a place of business.

This should be explained in the letter of employment.

Yeah, I kinda figured it is good if a letter comes from employer and I emailed him but since I quit my job with that company, I guess the owner is pissed off and would not answer my emails! and as far as I know, legally he is not obligated to give me another reference letter.
If anybody has any experience handling this any other way, I would appreciate your suggestions.
