Your approach is right. Give as many credible documents as you can to support your application. When you take printouts of your payslips on company stationery take 2 copies of each payslip. Keep a backup copy with you in case your company raises an issue when you ask them to stamp and sign your pays...

They are ready to give me a general compensation letter stating my basic salary, components etc. but not ready to give me authenticated proof of earnings in the past. Thanks for your advice though... every bit hel...
I agree with you, it is not a clear case. But as you can imagine since my employer refuses to attest my payslips I am looking for any and all alternatives. The CA whom I approach for my earnings statements will carry out a basic background check (audit?) and see whether what I claim is true. Of cour...
However I am based out of India and will be applying from here. Do you think the chances of getting a positive result in an administrative review are high?

Tax documents will not work because they do not cover the claimed period and they do not show the monthly break up (W-2 for US and Form 16 for India).
