Help on deciding Job advert

Hi

I am about to start my process for green card. Not the best of times to file, but I absolutely cant afford to lose more time. My filing would be in EB3 as I have a 3 year bachelor degree. I have a professional accounting degree also but I dont think I would be making use of it. My approach right now is of least risk.

What I am little concerned about is the designation / job code to use. Though I have worked as a Programmer Analyst till now for 8 years now with some elements of Business Analysis - my idea is file as a Systems Analyst (Onet code - 15-1051.00 ). The reasons are two fold - one, to allow me to work as Business / Financial Analyst when I decide to change my role couple of years down the line and second, to limit the number of responses to advert given present market conditions.

I am not sure if what I am trying to do has any risks. My lawyer suggests that I should put only and only those elements in advert, for which I can provide experience letters at I 140 stage. So the exact business analysis elements may be difficult to get, but I see the job description at Onet site can quite fit my profile well. (I have done requirements analysis in my last job)

Also I am wondering if I need this approach at all. Like if I would want to work as a Business Analyst later on, I could file an another labor in anycase - the time lags to get 485 cleared are so long that I can get another labor approved before I apply for 485. This way right now I can get the priority date crystallized first up and care about job role later on.

However I dont know if the other reason - to prevent too many applications by posting this job code is a pragmatic one or not.

Please advise. Thanks much in advance.
 
For the reasons I mentioned I am taking extra care. Besides I have a better understanding of my past technology experience.
 
But it taints the recruitment process. It is asking for trouble. Look at the press about the actions of the attorneys who presented a seminar about how to not find qualified US applicants for the job posting. This is just what you and your attorney are attempting to do: "to limit the number of responses to advert given present market conditions".
 
Well I believe the intention is not malafide in as much that I believe my skills as well the job requirements are somewhat unique. But given present conditions there may be a whole lot of people applying to the position even if they dont have those skills. Hence this idea. And more importantly as I mentioned, to keep my future role as more flexible.
 
These requirements should have been stated for the job for which you were originally hired.

You yourself stated that one of the reasons for the new job description was to reduce the number of qualified applicants for the job. This is illegal and is one of the reasons for all of the PERM audits.

Think on this. If your employer will lie to the US government, why do you think he would be fair and honest with you. The consequences of violating US immigration law are far more serious than simply violating a verbal commitment to you.
