H1B -Change of designation

[jminu]

Hi All,
I'm a fulltime employee at a company who holds my H1B.
When I joined them it was in an IT developer position and now they are offering a posistion as a analyst.
Pls advice what is the process/forms to be filled to indicate this change of situation in my H1B.

I think this change is a good opportunity but are there any immigration complications

Pls advice
Thanks in advance

Thanks. Now i do understand that an H1B amendment would be required.

Just a clarification
My current H1B status is valid till Jun 2012.
If I do apply for the H1B amendment and its rejected, will my current H1B be still valid.
Can I continue to work for my employer as a developer?

Thanks again.
One more query.

If my H1B amendment is approved and 5 months down the the line I want to get back to coding
1. In that case I need to apply for an another amendment correct?
2. Is it an issue to apply for some many amedments. Is there a cap
3. If my husband gets an EAD and I choose to use the EAD, then I dont have to file for amendments and can make career choices without amendments. Correct?

Thanks in advance.

>>> No.

>>> When you start working on the EAD, then you are no longer in the H1B status and so no need to file H1B amendment.
