EB3 and PERM question

[giulianoseguro 8]

Hi friends,

I'm currently a financial analyst for a silicon valley company under L1B and they're filling for my greencard under EB3. I have some questions on the best way to get through the PERM process.

Some background, I hold a bachelors in Business (already validated in the US for the L1B process) and have held various positions in tech companies over the years. I've been working as a financial analyst for 1.5 years and my previous position was an operations analyst at another tech company in Brazil.

When doing the job posting, they sent me a draft for my position and the minimum requirement was bachelor's + 1 year experience in a bunch of tools/skills such as hyperion, SQL, accounting, BI etc etc

When I saw it I thought 1yr experience as the minimum requirement was low and thinking it'd make it hard to get to PERM was could have other candidates applying. They said I could use my 2yrs experience with the other company however I'd need a letter from my previous manager.

The letter itself is not a problem however i was in operations rather than finance hence not all the skills are the same.

Now to my questions: what's more important for the PERM process? Years of experience or many different skills?

For instance I could do perm with 3 years experience with 3 or 4 more a "general" skill set OR I could do just 1 yr experience with a very extensive and detailed skill set (listing 8 or 9 different systems, tools etc)

Thanks guys! Really appreciate any insight you could provide.

Thanks!

What does the Lawyer say?

The description should be what is required for the job -- not designed so you are the only person qualified for the position. It is what it is -- the company says 1 year experience is what they need, so that's what it should be.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Lawyer wasn't very helpful so far mostly b/c I've only been in contact with the paralegal and she hasn't been able to shed much light on this.

@jan22, I understand your point and I don't want to be the only qualified one or bend the rules in any way. Just want to make sure I'm doing this the best way I can as both the company and I have a lot invested in and having to relocate back after the visa ending would just be costly on both ends. .My issue here is how to present my qualifications on PERM from this and past experience.

I have the qualifications needed and my manager prefers to stick with me then hiring someone from the outside and having them ramp up on all our systems but since we can't use the company's proprietary tools in the process it makes it a little more difficult. When I transferred my manager considered both my current and past experience but what weighed more in my favor was the knowledge in the company proprietary tools which saves them 1-2 years of having someone learning.
