Письмо о намерениях для визы O-1: образец и примеры

Письмо о намерениях (letter of intent) - это письмо потенциального работодателя, клиента или партнёра в США о том, что он намерен нанять вас или сотрудничать с вами; его прикладывают к петиции EB-1A или O-1 как доказательство, что вы едете в США продолжать работу в своей области. Для EB-1A оно не обязательно: 8 CFR 204.5(h)(5) требует ясных доказательств, что вы продолжите работу в своей области, и это могут быть письма будущих работодателей, контракты или ваше собственное описание планов. Для O-1 USCIS требует приложить копию письменного контракта с петиционером или изложение условий устной договорённости; образцы 3-5 ниже - письма с условиями работы для агентской схемы.

В процессе подачи петиции I-140 (EB-1A) для лиц с экстраординарными способностями, письма о намерениях играют критически важную роль. Эти документы не просто формальность; они являются ключевым доказательством того, что петиционер планирует продолжить работу в США в области, где он или она проявил выдающиеся способности.

По руководству USCIS "Доказательства ваших планов по работе в США" - отдельное обязательное требование, а не один из 10 критериев EB-1A. Смотрите оригинал, Пункт 2 в руководстве USCIS, который звучит как "Continuing to Work in the Area of Expertise. The person seeks to enter the United States to continue work in the area of extraordinary ability."

Отсутствие конкретных и убедительных писем о намерениях может значительно снизить шансы на успешное одобрение формы I-140. В последнее время USCIS уделяет особое внимание этому аспекту, и многие петиционеры сталкиваются с запросами на дополнительные доказательства (RFE) или даже отказами из-за недостаточно подробных планов продолжения работы в США.

Чтобы укрепить петицию, можно приложить письма о намерениях от потенциальных работодателей, клиентов или других организаций, которые выражают ясное намерение сотрудничать или нанимать петиционера в связи с его или ее выдающимися способностями. Эти письма должны содержать:

• Детали предложения или планов сотрудничества;
• Описание того, как петиционер будет применять свои уникальные навыки и таланты в США;
• Объяснение того, почему петиционер необходим Соединенным Штатам и как его работа принесет значительную пользу стране.

Письма о намерениях должны быть хорошо продуманными и тщательно оформленными, чтобы четко демонстрировать связь между прошлыми достижениями петиционера и будущими планами в США. Это доказательство намерений не только подкрепляет заявление о выдающихся способностях, но и подчеркивает серьезность намерений петиционера продолжить профессиональную деятельность в США, что является ключевым фактором для одобрения петиции.

Что должно быть в письме о намерениях

В образцах на этой странице обычно есть: дата и адресат (USCIS или вы), компания и ваша должность или роль, обязанности, оплата (зарплата или почасовая ставка), срок работы и условие начала - одобрение визы, петиции или грин-карты, подпись от компании и её контакты. В письмах для агентской схемы O-1 компания также разрешает агенту подать петицию и приложить к ней письмо, а вы подписываете согласие с условиями.

По существу письмо должно показать связь между вашими прошлыми достижениями и планами в США: детали предложения, как вы будете применять свои навыки и чем ваша работа полезна стране. Готовые файлы-образцы, в том числе письмо от компании, договор с агентом и план работ (itinerary) для агентской схемы, - в конце страницы.
