I would hold off filing for AC21 portability until you have more evidence of your new job, like paystubs, then send copies along with a copy of your offer letter.
 
There is no requirement that you get your AC21 filed before you start on your new job.
Sometimes it's not even necessary and you might get your GC on the original application itself.

In that case, you may get a NOID or your 485 may be denied. This can happen even after filing AC21 documentation.

Just by reading the job duties of both the jobs/offers. Titles don't matter that much, it is the actual job duties that should be similar.

Read the stick threads in this forum for samples letters and dox required.
 
Yates Memorandum says that it has to be same or similar job...If your employer has given a job classification just stick to that in the new job too. If he has got your labor as "Software engineer" and job description says "watch TV and surf net", that is his problem, you are a "Software engineer" classified under Dot or O*Net classification nos. Your new job has to be "Software engineer".. Job description can be programming and what not..


Do not have Labor/I140 job description...? Do not worry..Read my old post..Most Important..Do not forget doing the last thing, #6.

<Is it possible to change jobs if I don't have this information?>

YES. The only problem is you have to prove to INS that you have same or similar new job. So, you need the job title and description in your Labor/ I-140.

1. You can hope that your H1 job description was same. You may use that.

2. DOL has public database of all LCs and LCAs...since 2000.
Go to www.flcdatacenter.com and you will see downloadable mdbs. You can get your job title for which Labor was filed, and the job code. find out typical job description from Onet or Dot dictionary and you have your old job description.

3. Foramlly, ask your employer about your job description. If they refuse, go to Dept of Labor, and they will have to.

4. Get new job title and job description accordingly.

5. There are really very nice AC21 letters on the board. Pick up a good one and send it to INS.

6. Thumb your nose to old employer and tell to shove up the I140 and labor where sun does not reach...

Best of luck, pal! I was in the same boat..I asked Rajiv, but he said I may not be able to defend potential NOID with out job description. None of the boards IV or Murthy or trackitt told me how to get job description, so I found myself (and I am patting myself on the back )

I would like to add that in the event of the AC21 letter preceeding the I-140 revocation letter, the NOID is averted.

Maybe, if they're doing their job right. But they often don't care that you sent the AC21 letter before (that would require the enormous effort to actually look through your files to see if it is there!) and they send the NOID anyway.
