hello nazamii.....................what's your NOC code.

  Nizamii,
It seems as AINP is giving certain NOC codes preference.  My file number ends with 216 and I applied under NOC 1111 and still have not heard anything.

I think I'm reading more NOC 2171 than other ones, I'm NOC 1111 and my # is 370

[baltimoreresident]

Hopefully ours get approved soon enough

I think large majority of H1B's are 2171 IT Consultants.

Earlier I had a fear AINP will take off 2171 from the NOC list after the barrage of 2171 applicants. But that doesn't seem to be the case, they are nominating 2171's with out any hesitation.

You're right I think the majority of H1B in US are IT or Engineering

This AINP SRS being focused on H1B, I think the intention is to attract IT professionals - with the exception of software engineers (I am yet to comprehend why this exception). Majority of H1Bs who are stuck in the US GC process are in IT related occupation and Alberta is focusing on Nanotechnology and IT services as emerging industries in that province. The H1B AINP will help get the required skills in place so that Alberta will be ready when the economy starts improving.

My friend just got the Alberta Nomination Certificate. The date mentioned on the approval letter was 29th Dec 2008. Mail received on Jan 14 '09. His NOC was 2171.
The file number was 0309..

On the other hand, I got the FBI fingerprint just in a week. I mailed on jan 5th and reached their office by Jan 7th. I got the fingerprints on Jan 14.
I am still waiting for my nomination approval and hopefully should get by next week.
I will keep u all updated and good luck to all including me ;-)

many thanks for the update findude32... 309 is good progress...

friends,... i have asked this before ... but this time i will ask in a different context...
i think manny has raised an important point about "software engineer" i too never understood
s/w eng deal ....

my employer has given me a verification letter stating my designation as "software engineer" but
my h1 LCA responsibilities  that I have used for proof of job description are closer  to 2171 ....

quick question to seniors who got approved : did any of your employer give you a letter stating
designation as "software engineer" ... i know somebody whose nomination got approved was
a "senior software engineer" .... but  i am still checking if anybody had only "software engineer"
stated in the job employement verification letter ...

any inputs are appreciated
