I have an two-year Associates Degree and one year of work experience as a Programmer Analyst. Do I qualify for the H-1B visa?
No. You must have at least the equivalent of a bachelor’s Degree (4-year) from a university in the United States. Three years of work experience is generally equivalent to one year of college education. You could qualify if you have six years of work experience and two years of college. The degree and work experience should be directly relevant to your job title. If you do not have a bachelor’s or higher degree from a university in the United States, you should have your credentials evaluated by a professional evaluation agency to verify to the Immigration Service that you possess the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree.
