Employment Verification Letter相关问题

最近刚开始准备PERM材料，律师通知需要前雇主提供的Employment Verification Letter，JD上要求的6 months experience，但是我已经在现在公司工作远超过6个月了，不知道为什么还需要提供之前雇主的EVL？再次问了一些律师，还是要求提供。之前只有过短暂的不到6个月的实习，而且之前老板也跳槽去了新公司，想问下这种情况还是需要找前雇主写EVL吗？律师是说前老板可以用新公司的letterhead来写。但是如果之前实习并没有6个月，前老板可能不会愿意签字？（律师明确要求EVL要写6 months experience和skillsets）

具体看各公司怎么给你role的job description定义。一般同公司学到的skills是不能用到perm的，除非有material change即职位上50%的变化，比如ic变people manager，或者software engineer从level 2到level 4。一般来说，太entry level的职位不好做perm，有些公司的律师直接说做不了。这些都和公司相关，不是说我这么做成功了，就说明你也可以这么做。公司和公司不同，同公司不同team也不同

并且有些律师会说6个月的经验要求必须是fulltime payroll那种，part time 教授lab实习都不行。你要具体把自己的情况说清楚让公司律师帮你调整，比如6个月不到是不是5个月可以，或者6个月是最低要求，再低他们做不了perm

The experience earned at your current company cannot be used to file perm. It has be prior experience from your previous companies. Unless your future position that your lawyer is filing perm for has > 50% difference in the nature of your work. For example, SDE1 to SDE2 does not qualify while SDE to SDM does.

谢谢解答，这种情况下是不是只有和律师沟通看能不能减少experience的时长要求？因为来现在公司之前没有超过6个月的工作经验，EVL上需要写之前工作的具体日期。

as far as i know, 6 months is probably the minimum to establish a credible experience required by this position for labor market test (This is not a legal advice). If you have been working at this company for a long time, see if you can convince your boss & lawyer to file a more senior position for perm. You may be able to use your current work experience to prove you are qualified for this future position.

a better solution is to switch to a different employer so that they can file perm using your current experience.

一般这个就是阐明LZ之前的工作经历和经验。没有说律师要指定写明多久，通常如实开EVL即可。
LZ前一份工作是跟着公司，如果前老板跳槽了，那么可以跟前雇主的HR联系啊。顶多让前老板配合说明下情况。

SDE2的时候用同公司SDE1的经历做EVL完全没问题，亲测

修改experience要求要重做PWD和recruitment，尽量想办法满足吧

前后两个职位Job description有51%不同时可以用本公司的经历，这个很依赖公司和律师的写作技巧。
（这条法律的本意是避免一个公司不招有技能的美国人，先把没技能的外国人招进来放在这个岗位上慢慢培养培养好了再file PERM）
