AC21: Programmer Analyst vs Software Architect

[MA_Labor]

I am changing jobs using AC21. The job title on my Labor Certification (Substituted) says "Programmer Analyst". The new job title is "Project Lead/ Sr. Software Architect". Do you see a problem with this?

Also, the job description on the Labor cert says the following....

"Analyze and define end-user requirements; formulate system design; and develop software using Java, CORBA, Oracle, Visual Cafe, Enterprise Java Beans, Servlets, JSP, HTML, Sun Solaris, Rational Rose, XML, Developer 2000, SQL/ PL-SQL, and Windows NT. Plan, design and install system hardware; document and design implementation process; and train end-users of the system."

The new job description includes a lot of software architecture design work and implementation. Mainly working on the Microsoft .Net platform.

Please let me know if any of you think that this could be a problem.

MA_Labor- Post your new job description also.

From my experience, immigration officer looks for same words in both the descriptions. It does not have to be exactly the same, word to word. But if my labor talks about a Java developer and my new job is a DBA, there could be issues.

Hope this helps.

Try to get a letter from your new company saying that the job duties are similar as those of the Labor and mention the skills so that they are close to what is mentioned on the labor. Search the forums for an AC21 letter template. If that comany does not a problem giving a letter, then it should be ok.

I see very few similarities in the labor document and the new company's requirements. The officers are not techies and they would look at keywords match. Try to maintain the same atleast on letter.
