Thanks Peter. I'm very unremarkable as a software engineer, no publications or anything like that either. It's unlikely I would qualify for NIW or O-1.
You seem to agree that PERM would be problematic in these times? Maybe you are seeing failures too? My thinking is that I don't want to try to persuade my employer to start the sponsorship process but then fail the market test (potentially repeatedly). Some SWEs are being successful in this though, so I'm wondering if it's also down to having a good law firm handle the process.
The PERM is still a good path generally but it's slow and cumbersome - and often the only option.
