Absconding work experience

[rakeshdg]

Hi,
Greetings Everyone !!
I have a total of work experience of 7 years in SAP Consulting in India. Current job is my 4th change in company.
I have a 11 month work experience for my 2nd company for which I don't have relieving papers.
Now I have to give my documents for filing H1 with my current company. They are asking me to do the settlement with the 2nd company and get the papers.

Even after repeated appeals to the 2nd firm the relevant papers were not issued at that time(almost 4 years back). Now that company is bought over by another firm.
The new firm says that they cannot issue any letter on their letter head as its not their matter but still they answer queries to background check of former employees.

I don't want to explore any legal option as of now as it would cost me time and money.

Is there a way to circumvent this so that no issues are raised during processing. What can be the alternate solution for the absence of relieving papers.
I have all the payslips,offer letter, resignation mails and also the background check verification form where these new employers have mentioned that they don't have the letter head to oblige for the relieving.

If I remove this 11 months of experience from my resume what can I show or tell for this absence.

Looking for some help. Thanks.

Regards,
Rakesh..

If you absolutely cannot get a relieving letter from that employer, then a notarized letter from your X-Colleagues with your full name, designation and roles & responsibilities can help as an alternative. The letter should also include your x-colleague's full name, their designation at that time, the period they worked with you and their contact details. If you can get this letter from your supervisor's then it will add more value.

In addition, also get an email from the company HR stating that they cannot provide the letter. Attach that email along with the secondary evidence as above.
