Re: Job Title and Job description mismatch issue, please help.
I am a "Systems and Network Administrator" administrating Unix, Linux and Windows Systems, Networks, and Application Softwares/Servers (like Web servers, Mail Servers etc) for last 8 years.
In my LC, the Job Title is "Software Engineer" and the job description is as follows:
"Design, Develop and Implement Systems and Network Solutions, provide hands on operational support to high profile websites hosted on Solaris, HP-UX, Linux and Windows NT/2000"
The job requirement is BS in CS or engineering and 5 years of experience in above. I have B.E. in electronics Engineering.
My previous Job titles and job duties performed are:
1. Systems Administrator (job duties: systems and network administration)
2. Network Manager (job duties: Systems and Network administrator)
3. Software Engineer (job duties: Systems and Network administrator)
4. Development Systems Administrator (job duties: Systems and Network administrator)
5. Systems Administrator (job duties: Systems and Network administrator)
DOL assigned DOT code: 999.151-032 to my application which is that of Software Engineer (Systems). I recently learnt that, there is actually an Occupational Title "Network and Systems Administrator" in the Occupational Dictionary, not sure why my employer and lawyer did not use that, I guess they didn't know at that time.
Questions for experts on this board.
1. Will I have problem because of mismatching job Title and Job duties in the LC and my actual work experience letters.
2. The job duties mentioned in the LC is pretty much same as what is there in my previous experience letters.
3. Due to the Job Title as "Software Engineer" my prevailing wage also went up to 86K, where as it should have been 72K, had we used the job title "Systems/Network Administrator" now that's another problem altogether.
4. Is there any Systems/Network Admin who got his I-140 approved with Job title as "Software Engineer"
5. I also checked the job description of Software Engineer (Systems) on the DOL site, and the job duties are overlapping with that of a systems admin, not sure if that is a relief, any idea ?
Please help.
Thanks
