Hi Ginnu, Can you please provide your input..

I want to use AC21, I -485 applied (180+ days) and I-140 approved.
But I do not have Labor details. Labor applied from chicago. I-140 and I-485 applied in Nebraska Service center. I sent FOIA to NSC in FEB-05. So far I got nothing.

But have labor Receipt number. So I went to FLC datacenter and got my Labor info. In FLC it says, my OCC code is , 030.162-014 and Title is Programmer Analyst.. But Job duties are not posted there.

Now Based on above OCC code Can I Invoce AC-21.. ie the new Employer will say My Title is Programmer analyst and My Job duties are similare to what the OCC job duties in DOL web site.

Will this work..

What are my Options? Can I get ETA 750 A using FOIA directly from DOL? If so How can I get It.

I called DOL hot line.. They say I need to call exact office ehrer my papers are located at. OSme other said call the Office of Solicitor , DOL ( washington)..

I have to use AC21 asap. My current employer is totruring me with no paychecks and no insurance..

If your LC is for a programmer analyst then almost any job related to writing software will qualify as "same or similar" under AC21. I am puzzled why so many folks are busy doing FOIA requests for the LC.
 
Thank You RealCanadian.. :)

I thought job duties should match whats in the Labor Certification. Isn't it why everyone is applying for FOIA. I think most of our friends dont even know what is their title in Labor Certification. But now a days everyone is applying for FOIA even thought it is not required. I think that is one of reason why FOIA processing is also backlogged. ( According to the Law we should het something back in 20 business days)
 
I think you need to be vary of job descriptions only when you are drastically changing your job duties ...like becoming say a Business analyst from a Software Engineer or something like that.As long as you are in to a SIMILAR job duties you should be fine.
