Hello,
I'm on F1 OPT visa. My H1B got picked in lottery . My employer wants to file for H1B saying I'm a test engineer. But currently I'm working as an associate software developer. I have done my bachelors and masters in computer science. i have previous work experience of 2yrs as a software engineer.
My questions are:
1.What are the legal risks of misrepresenting my actual job duties in the H-1B petition?
2.Can my employer file an amended petition to correct the job title and duties? If so, how complicated is this process?
3. What legal issues could arise if my job title and actual duties don’t align during a background check?
4. if I want to change my job and join new company in future as a developer, what will be the complications?
Kindly address these issue.
Thank you in advance
