Hi, I have just started the process for AINP under H1B Visa.
I have couple of questions if some one can provide valuable feedback -
I am applying under NOC-2171.
total 9 yrs exp, from last 2 yrs in USA on H1b.
My designation on offer letter is Project Leader, my current role is 'Business System Analyst' and the designatioin given on LCA and USCIS(I-797) is 'Computer Programmer Analyst'.
Now can some please tell what I should mention in AINP-0009 form and will it be fine applying under NOC 2171.
I have earlier worked as Programmer,System Analyst and Business Analyst.
My Engineering is not in computer science.
Appreciate your time on this.
I am not sure if I have post these questions at right forum... but some how wanted to get these clarifications...

Your job title is not that important. The duties are what matter. Visit this link:
http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2006/QuickSearch.aspx?val65=2171 and see if more than 50% of your duties fall under what is written there. Compare the duties written on your offer letter or LCA with this and you will know what NOC and title to choose. You do not need to send LCA, so you better use the title that is on your offer letter.
My LCA/H1B job title was totally different than what I applied under and I already got nomination. As far as I know, they do not call USCIS.
Degrees do not matter. I have BS in Management and Master's in Public Administration. I applied under NOC 2171, Business Systems Analyst. I got a letter from my employer with my new title and duties. Good luck.
