I had similar experience that I wanted to share with you. I am not from PA though. This is around 2009.

My boss was wiling to write up job description in any way I would request. I wrote up a job description and showed it to the Immigration Lawyer that my company provided me with. I had shown MS in engineering with 8 years of experience. The Lawyer made few comments, they said if I show MS + 8 years experience then Dept of Labor would require the salary to be 180K to replace an American. My boss was in no position to pay me that amount. So the Lawyer came up with an idea. They changed the job description with Minimum requirement to be; MS in Engineering with knowledge of few specific software OR BS in engineering with 5+ years experience in the same list of software. The Dept of Labor's salary requirement came down to 70K+. I was already being paid more than that and I had knowledge of those software.

I did not reduce my experience, I still showed the same 8 years experience that I had in my perm resume...only 1 person applied since the pay is not that attractive. My perm, 140 and 485 got approved in due time without any audits.

My English is not that great either and there could be information missed between the lines, so my recommendation is find a good immigration lawyer and bench mark every decision you make on the information you receive from the lawyer. They cost at around $100.00/hour.....good investment it will turn out to be.
