Job Title when changing employer?

[rosaly]

Hello Gurus:

My lawyer recommended to use title of "IT Consultant" when
I change my employer, this way he says I'll be safe if an RFE
were to be raised by BCIS, my lawyers point of view is - an "IT Consultant"
could be a S/W eng., Programmer Analyst, System Admin., SQA/SQE etc.

My point of view is,

1. IT consultant is not a specific job title, what if BCIS adjudicating officer
thinks it as a bogus title to fit any category? won't this complicate my GC
prospects if they dig deeper?

2. As per AC21 and I-485, GC is meant for a permanent position and 'IT
Consultant' does not sound like a full time position? though it may be a
permanent job, what are your thoughts?

Please post your response for the above issues.

Thanks...Rose

If the job description is remarkably similar, the title does not matter much (as long as it is not Chief Riding Instructor or some such thing )

In my opinion, IT Consultant is OK if the description of the job is the same as that specified in ETA 750-B (labor).

see ONET online, definitions, tasks, responsibilties should be similar between the 2 jobs...
