International Letter Request: Fill & Download for Free

Call the Internal Revenue Service at 800-829-1040.The IRS will send your former employer a letter requesting that they furnish you a W-2 within ten days. It advises the company of their responsibilities to provide an error free W-2 to any persons employed during the past tax year and of the penalties for failure to do so.That should be sufficient motivation for your former employer to take immediate action. No company wants to be in hot water with the IRS.

“Sir, this is my flight ticket; the plane takes off in 5 hours. So if we do not get this visa right now, we might as well not get it at all.”June 14th, 2013,Mumbai, India.A few months before this date, my parents went to the US consulate in Mumbai for their visa interview. They carried every document they ever owned because they didn’t want anything going wrong. They had never travelled internationally and their first ever trip was planned to see their son graduate. At the interview the officer asked them some standard questions, nothing out of the ordinary; but then, he told my dad that his visa had been approved for 10 years and turned to my mom and handed her the dreaded 221g. He said that they would need to get some more documents as evidence. It was quite puzzling at the time but my parents accepted the verdict and went back home to send the documents.The next 4 months were extremely harrowing. The consulate told them that since my mother had been a Chemistry professor, they needed more details like a copy of her 30+ year old hand typed PhD thesis for starts (that had something to do with extraction of starch molecules). The Boston Bombings had put Chemistry on the technology alert list(TAL) and this started a multi-year saga for my mom.The days became weeks, my parents drove to Mumbai multiple times to plead their case, but their pleas fell on deaf ears. Dad also got his diplomat friend to send the consulate a letter requesting they help with this case; but bureaucracy is after all bureaucracy.Finally, Friday, June 14th, the day of their flight and 36 hours before their only son graduated. Mom and dad packed their bags, loaded the car and drove to Mumbai, braving the heavy stormy rains and the floods; still no passport or visa in hand for mom who by then had pretty much given up all hope and resigned to her fate. They went to the consulate one last time where dad pleaded to meet a high ranking official for just a few minutes and explain what’s going on. Luckily, one of them obliged and invited dad into his office.He told dad that the process takes time and the system shows him that it has been cleared but the stamping might take a couple of days and that they will probably hear back on Monday. Dad pulled out a printed sheet and told him,“Sir, this is my flight ticket; the plane takes off in 5 hours. So if we do not get this visa right now, we might as well not get it at all. You see that woman sitting outside in tears, that is my wife. Her only dream her whole life has been to watch her son grow into a man. Watching him graduate will be the happiest and proudest moment of her life and I don’t have it in my heart to tell her that she can’t do that. Please help us out.”The officer heard him out, then rang in someone on his office staff and talked to him and asked my dad to wait outside for a little bit. Mumbai was flooding and mom and dad waited outside for an hour. It was 4:30pm and the consulate would close in 30 minutes. They were almost sure that nobody was coming and that the officer had just asked them to wait outside to get rid of them. At this time, my wife and I were boarding our flight from Seattle to California to attend the ceremony; we called up mom and heard what was going on as the plane began to taxi.Ten minutes later, just as my flight took off, there was an announcement for Mrs. Kamath to please come into the office. There he stood, the big bald shining white angel with a huge grin on his face and a passport in his hand. Mom broke down while dad shook the man’s hand profusely. He gave them a hug and told them“I wouldn’t have been able to sleep tonight knowing a mother had been robbed of this moment; I’m sorry things took so long but I hope you make your flight and get to watch your son walk.”They made it; six hours before I graduated, they made it.Over the next few years, mom had to re-apply for a visa every year since Chemistry remained on the TAL and she never got a visa for longer than 6–12 months. This finally changed in 2018 when they gave her a 10 year visa at last.I do not know who that officer was or if there’s even the slightest chance he might read this some day; but if he does I want him to know that his bias for action on that day brought a mother the happiest moment of her life. Thank you kind sir, whoever you are.In case we haven’t met before, I’m Rohan Kamath.Thank you for reading. I hope I could help you smile today. :)

Most of the times many job applications are shortlisted only on basis of mail(You need to only send a letter requesting for the vacant job and the Xeroxes of your certificates etc.). In this type of jobs, certificates do matter a lot since you are directly shortlisted based on the papers you sent.In a campus interview, Face to face interview….. Certificates do make a better impression on the interviewers but carry a lot less weightage, because companies usually seek for a student who has thorough knowledge in the subject, rather than a student who has just spent the whole college life searching for internships and collecting certificates.So, My suggestion would be to concentrate more on your studies and try to gain in depth knowledge. Try to find some interships of your area of interest. Best time to find interns usually are during the summer vacations.P.S 1:- Opening an internshala account may help.- Internships in India | InternshalaP.S 2:-Try to be active participants in the coding websites such as topcoder, hackerrank, codechef etc. Some companies like Directi have direct link with the coding websites and hence having a profile at such places will help a lot.
