Urgent - Job Change - please suggest

Friends,
I applied I-485 in Sep 2001. My company had a massive layoff last month and I also got affected. As my GC is in the last stage, I was able to convince them to keep me on Leave of absence so that I have employment but no paystubs.
I have a very good job offer but the profile of the position is quite different. It is in Support while I was originally in Development. I am very sure that it does NOT qualify the "similar job" criteria of AC21. I am not sure what to do.
Any suggestions of what to do in such situation ?
Thanks.
 
take a lawyers help...

Maybe he can help you frame your job description in a better way.
 
Request Jaxen to comment in your situation.

Go by lawyers advise

By the way Jaxen seems to be a very knowledgeable lawyer -- FYI

:)
 
let me add to the chorus.

support and development need not be two entirely different things. If you convince your new company to call you "engineer" and say generic things like "help in design/execution" you should be fine (All this if RFE is generated).

you are in good shape, just get the best lawyer.

good luck...
 
First of all, thanks to all you guys for the suggestions. The corporate lawyer for my present company is not helping much.
I will appreciate if you can suggest good lawyers.

abtoaajabhai,
who is Jaxen ? can you give her phone number ?

neeru,
the job offer i have is from a very big firm and they will not be interested in changing the job details for me. They may go ahead with some other candidate if I make a chaos.

Again, if you guys know of any good lawyers, can you please forward their name and phone number to me at cscgc2002@yahoo.com asap.

Thanks.
