Writing a letter doesn’t come easy to most of us, especially to a governmental body like the US government. This article contains samples of letters to the USCIS, including visa application letters and employment letters.
A detailed letter should not only provide details about your person for a labor condition application or any other work you are applying for, it should also show you are qualified to be a beneficiary with adequate experience in that field.
For some, the reason they may have to write a letter is for a petition on behalf of a beneficiary. Whatever the case may be, your letter either to show you are qualified for a posting, earn the minimum wage, or have the experience to carry out a specialty task has to be detailed.
A poorly written letter can truncate the documentation process or mean you do not have the equivalent university degree as an employee to work for a particular employer.
