Same or Similar Occupational - Changing Job On EAD

[desiinpradesh]

Hi Guys,

 

I got my EAD in 1012 and my H1B is valid till sept 2014. So far I didn't use EAD. Now I am planning to change current employer(GC sponsor)  and join another employer on EAD.

 

I have a question regarding "Same or Similar Occupational". My PERM was filed for Project Manager position but being a contractor I didn't get promotion in position. I look for hourly rate then what the position client is looking for.

 

Based on my work experience I am getting technical role like Sr. Developer/Tech Lead/Architect. So question here is:

- Will this create a problem when I file AC21 after joining new company on new technical role not Project Manager?

 

My PD is July 2008, should I wait till I get GC and then change job? Please suggest.

 

Thanks!

A lawyer needs to look at the job descriptions. Generally speaking "not similar" is something of a sort when you going from doing X to teaching X.
