H1 from same employer similar job ?? Please help

[anishNewbie]

Below are the 2 listed jobs.. I am currently working as 15-1051.00 Computer Systems Analysts for XXX comp... I have been working for more than 3 years.. They are planning to file my GC soon..

I know for a fact that you cannot count current employer exp for GC. If i start working for the same employer on 15-1031.00 Computer Software Engineers, Applications , is it more than 50% different in role so i can count my 3 years experience when applying my GC ??

Also do i have to file a new H1 for this 15-1031.00 Computer Software Engineers, Applications job from same employer ??

You can use experience with the same employer, but not in the same position as you note next.

Nobody could tell just by looking at the DOT job descriptions. Your actual job and duties are what is important, not any DOL codes or descriptions. if your duties in the 2 jobs are 50% different, you should be able to use the experience.
