Employer reference letters

[bhumyinder]

Hi.. i have received the clearance from CIO and need to forward my documents to New Delhi.
While going through the checklist i found out that reference letters stating roles, designation, compensation along with company seal and visiting card of the person signing the letter is required. I followed up with my old companies and they were not ready to issue such letter and advised to use relieving letter only as the last reference from the company.

Seniors please help, and advise what if am not able to provide these letters. Can relieving letter still be used as the last reference from the company.

Thanks

- You have mentioned that you have relieving letters from old company, so that's good thing. I hope you would have appointment letter also, does that say anything about your role & responsibilities. If no, can you get (notarized) reference letters from 2 ex-colleagues, they can confirm your working period & role/responsibilities in that.

If you can manage above things, that would be helpful, VO will call your (old) office to confirm, so you would be good to go.

You should be good if you submit following,

-Appointment letter
-Relieving letter
-Reference letters from ex-colleague

Thanks so much for the kind reply.
My only question is that reference letters from ex-colleagues will not be on the company letter head, as they have already left the company.
Please advise.

Thanks

Notarized copy (if you are in India, then on Rs. 50 stamp paper & notary public's stamp+sign).

Thanks so much... One more query is that after receiving the letter from CIO, how long does it take to receive the Visa, if documents are all clean.

Cheers!!

Hi Seniors - I have only the experience certificate given to me by the earlier employer. I do not have the Appointment letter. I cannot get copy of the same now since the entire Management got changed. What should I do in such circumstance. Your comments please.

I also do not have my contracts but only reference letters. Is that ok?
