After a month and several requests, the employer sent a complete verification form to the mortgage company. However, the employer stated in the part of the question about the probability of continued employment

No, it is not. First of all, an employer is under no duty to fill out such a form. To the extent that it does fill out one out, they are free to put down what they believe to be true at the time. Therefore, if your employer felt that your probability of continued employment was not good or "low", then it violated no law in stating that on the form. If you think that your empoyer lied on the form because it was annoyed with you, there really is no way to porve that. Even if you could, your cause of action would be limited.
