What is the equivalent of a US Bachelor degree?
According to the Department Of Homeland Security (DHS), 3 years of progressively responsible work experience equals 1 year of education in an accredited US degree program. While the US Bachelor degree takes four years, obtaining an Indian Bachelor degree requires only 3 years. Hence, the Indian H1B or L1 applicant must ordinarily present a valid Bachelor degree and proof of 3 years work experience in a field related to the proposed job duties. In special cases, the Consular Officer may waive this requirement.
