question regarding Job Title and responsibilities
Hi lawyers,
I have a question regarding Job Title and responsibilities when I switch to another employer after 180 days of filing I-485.
1.9089 Form
In 9089 form under section F (3) it is written as Computer Software Engineer with SOC/O*NET (OES) code 15-1031.00 and under section H (3) it is written as Programmer Analyst and job duties are under section H (11)
2.Approved 9089 certificate
In Approved 9089 certificate, occupation is written as Computer Software Engineer with code 15-1031.00
With what Job title I can switch my employer (confused between Computer Software Engineer and Programmer Analyst)
Thanks,
JD

Thank you for your question. Your certified Form 9089 lists your occupation as "Computer Software Engineer" (code 15-1031.00) regardless of the fact that "Programmer Analyst" was put in field H(3). A proper AC21 transfer requires you switch to a new employer and be on a "same or similar job."
While this does not mean that the title and the duties must be identical to your current Computer Software Engineer job, the new job duties must be similar or overlapping. Your new title need not be "Computer Software Engineer" and may be even "Programmer Analyst" as long as your duties are similar.
Do not hesitate to follow-up with any questions or concerns or call/email if you need assistance in preparing your AC21 transfer.
Best regards. |
