07大潮交的485.排期最近到了,由於換工作被request for evidence. 雖然有心裏準備,還是比較忐忑不安。今天收到信,果然是要求提供新工作的證明。詳細閱讀國皮匠的帖子,受益匪淺,有一個細節地方希望的到更多的幫助。request for evidence 新裏有3條:
(1)the beneficiary of an immigrant petition approved under section 204(a)(1)(F) of the Act (previously 204(a)(1)(D),
這條代表設麽意思?
-It means you have an approved I-140 when you changed your job.
(2) The application for adjustment has been pedning for more than 180 days(這條我是符合的)
(3) The new permenant position is the same or similar occupational classification as the orginginal employments:
我原來在一個公共衛生學院裏做assistant professor,3年前換工作到一閣醫學院做assistant professor. 所在的專業是相同的。但是在以前單位official 的工資是9個月的。summer 用funding 另發工資。所以在petition 裏工資比較低,現在的工作是按12 各月來算的,工資看上去會多30-40%。我的兩個問題是:
i) 工資的差異性及工作在不同的學院會不會造成not qualified for similar position.或者如何argue這個不是問題。
-Not need to argue yoru salary because it is fine. You just need to ask your current employer (either HR Director, your Dean or Dept. Chair) to issue a employment verification letter (EVL) indicating your current title (Assistant Professor), your salary, your job starting date (the date you changed your job to this school), your job duties (teaching area, research area, etc.) and also indicating your position is a tenure-track position. That is all.
If your position is not tenure-track, you need to indicate your postion has no definite term and you has the expectation to be employed continually in the EVL.
ii)對於(3) 裏提到的same or similar occupational classification as the original employments, 我不清楚在原來的petition letter 裏他們是用設麽occupational classification.我是不是應該向以前的雇主要原來的letter以免新雇主的信對occupational classification有所不同?還是說這個classification是一個比較寬的定義,如教師就是一類。
-Don't worry this. Just descibe your new job duties in the EVL as my above suggestions.
