NOID on I-485

[skymoon]

I need help. I got "Notice of intent to denial 485" on my I-485 today, I was asked to submit a letter of employment and new job description even though I submitted them as part of AC21 process.
Do I need to submit any supporting documentation/letter along with employment letter and job description to show that both the jobs are related and in the same field? I am worrying about the job descriptions and titles, they might cause issues. The old and new job titles and descriptions are different.

How to convince the immigration officer that the jobs are related and in the same field? Do they consider that both Programmer Analyst and Architect come under same classification?
Any advice would be appreciated. I talked to my lawyer and he is saying no worries and he says as long as the new job is in the IS field, that’s fine…..

My new employer is a big company and they don’t change either title or description. Can someone suggest me how to proceed?

This is my situation:

My Priority date : Aug 15 2006,
Job role : Programmer Analyst (Contracting position)
EAD/AP Approval : Feb/March 2007
New Employer (Full time position) – Nov 15, 2010
Job role - Strategy Architect (same IT field but next position to Programmer Analyst)
2011 Feb - Old Employer revoked 140
2011 May – Filed AC21 with new Job description , same IT field but job title is "Strategy Architect"
2012 Feb - "Notice of intent to denial 485" and requested for more information on denial.

Relax

Nothing gonna happen. Just make sure that you mention job responsibilities close to what you have filed earlier. You can find that information in your 9098 (Perm Application). You just have to mention that your so and so company, job title and your current responsibilities. As long as you have this info it does not matter and NOID will be cleared.

In any case better consult attorney. No need to panic.

It is not mandatory to have the same title. They do not care. It all depends on job responsibilities.

Title is nothing. Job description is everything. Usually if the current duties has a 50% or more match with the previous one, it is good. But in general there is no rule as to how much % it has to match. You should talk to a good attorney as to how to write the job description meaning you might have to steal some words from your old job description to arrive at a new one.

My old job description and new description (given by my employer) look different when a non IT person reviews them. My attorney is not willing to change the job description given by my current employer. He is saying USCIS may contact employer to confirm my employment. He is saying it wouldn’t be a problem as long as the new job is in the same IT field. He is saying since the letter doesn't say anything about job description, we should not worry about it at all..he is planning to send my new employment letter (including job description)

Please find the attached job descriptions and see if they make sense.

I talked to Murthy attorney and I was asked to submit an expert opinion letter to explain about the job descriptions and prove both of them similar. I need help. Does anyone know where can I get this kind of letter. The attorney mentioned that professors generally do that. If you know anyone(company) please let me know.
