Employer refuses to certify job duties

[Desertseeweed]

I am in a tough situation: My company's HR issued a letter of employment, but regarding job duties, the letter says "We are not allowed to disclose this information."

So I asked my boss, his boss, and my coworker. It turned out that our company also has a policy that prohibits managers/coworkers from issuing letters of VOE.

So far I have collected these documents:

1. Letter of VOE by HR, which has all information except job duties;
2. Emails from my boss, his boss, and my coworker, saying they are not allowed to issue this letter;
3. Printout of company policy, that says managers and coworkers are not allowed to issue letters of VOE;
4. Email from HR, saying they are not allowed to give a letter on my job duties;
5. Because I am on H1B in the US, I have H1B petition letter, which does list my job duties;
6. H1B approval notice (which does not list job duties);
7. Print out of some internal documents, which shows the general job duties of the job title that I hold;
8. A letter by my boss' boss, issued before this prohibitive policy took effect. This lists my job duties in detail;
9. All pay stubs;
10. Job offer letter, (which doesn't mention job duties..)
11. Application for Permanent Labor Certification, filed by my employer with Department of Labor (as part of green card process);
12. Tax form (W-2, for those who are familiar with the US system);

What else can I do at this point?

(Thank you all for reading this long thread.)

All you need is 1,2 and 8. Rest are all unnecessary and too much info.

Is the issuance prohibited on a letter head?
Your coworker can still just authenticate via email that job duties you performed are valid and attach all the proofs you collected as part of the policy and explain in LOE what is submitted to validate job duties.

Things to include: 1,2,3 or 4 (whichever has higher hierarchy) , 5, 8, 9, 11 (maybe), 12.

I’d go with 1,8,9,10. If a previous boss has given you in writing your job duties than what’s the problem. That should be sufficient.

Thank you for your input! I appreciate it.

Thank you for your idea. I am trying to get this letter from my coworker.
