An employment verification letter is a document issued by an employer that verifies the employment history of an individual. This letter is typically used for immigration purposes, such as when an individual is applying for a green card or a visa. In the context of Form I-140, an employment verification letter is used to support a petition for an alien worker to work in the United States.

The letter must also be signed by an authorized representative of the employer and must be on company letterhead.
