Minor changes won't require a new labor certification. But if there is a difference in pay or the DOT code is much different, then you cannot use an approved labor certification for your case.

Difference in DOT code is thing which DOL and all federal agencies wants to keep it elusive. There are two instances where i have seen this case:
1) for labor certifications, where one wants to substitute labor.
2) for AC21 portability, where they mention "same or similar" job. God only knows what is a similar job!

The INS/USCIS had denied a case about 6 months earlier saying that programmer/analyst and computer programmer are different jobs.

So my point it all depends upon the knowledge of CO and the capability of your lawyer.
 
THank you everyone for your support. Mine is the last case in December. ATL recd only one case on Dec 27th and that is mine. They only recd applications in January then. So I guess the dec'02 processing is over with few exceptional cases.

I haven't seen the letter sent by DOL but I will later in the day today and update you guys.

Hope it's approved in a couple of weeks from the time I send it again without further delays.
 
Thanks Rajeev

Thanks Buds..
The DOT code lists these new responsiblities under the same code.....would this be ok?
What if the job title has changed even though responsiblities still fall under the same DOT code.
:)
It is getting better !!!

There should not be a problem, most likely. Please remember I am not a lawyer.

Remember, AC21 portability. You should be able to change a job to same or similar job if your case is pending for 180 days or more and your i-140 is approved. Currently back log for i-485 is for more than 2-3 years.

You should be able to change the job as this new job may constitute as a similar job.

My recommendation is dont do anything, and keep cool.
 
Sounds better but...

What if I want to get me a room mate from India after I marry her. Would these pose a challenge to the consulate?
 
On the topic of ACT21, is the only requirement for ACT21 to be effective is approved I140 and 485 pending for more then 180 days.
for eg. in case of Texas USCIS if a person files 140 and 485 concurrently and it takes about a year for 140 to be accepted does that mean the day 140 is certified the person becomes eligible for ACT21 ?
 
Amendment

Where can I get more info on Amendmnets?
Thanks
ps: Rajeev, I have TAUGHT my attorney a lot more about H1B in the past . It seems like this one will be a new topic that I will end up teaching him. This should help him becoming a good attorney.

Do you know of any good site that has information in Canadian immigration? Sorry to ask this question in this forum but since the topic came I thought I should ask.

Thanks
 
A friend of mine is getting his GC for Canada done his lawyers mentioned that currently it is taking about 14 - 16 months for the whole process.
 
ATL DOL Goofed up

I got the RFE sent to my employer . the letter says they need a copy of the ETA 750 A&B again because it was resconstructed(lost initially) with original signatures. Also mentioned they need evidence of experience in some mainframe skills which I have never heard of and nowhere mentioned in my application. Those skills belong to another employee in my company who;s labor was certified almost an year ago. Another waiting game starts now.

ATL will receive the requested forms and cover letter from my attorney on friday or saturday.
 
Canada

I had done it myself approved in about the same time as Peshwin but chose not get PR stamp from Canada.

Peshwin: Are you paying Canadian taxes as well?
