Hi PK,
I had the same experience with this lawyer who was going to file my case in PERM.I keep talking about I-140 and he cant get his head off of "lets worry about labor now!!".
It is frustrating. But put your foot down and present your case to the lawyer. Tell him to forget about educational requirement completely, just focus on your experience and come up with a job requirement that can get you a labor under skilled worker category.
A job requirement with 8 years of experience in I.T with some type of "other" category education should make your case fly.
No one on the public forums is going to be able to help you fill up the PERM application form for you completely. Certainly not me. It is lawyer's job.
Good luck.
