halo22 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I work for a non-profit cap-exempt research organization. Currently I am on STEM OPT which will expire in June 2015.My organization is filling an H1B petition for me within the next 2 weeks. The following is my education background. Bsc Biotech (3 yrs degree INDIA)Diploma in Bioinformatics (1yr INDIA)Master's in Bioinformatics (USA)~24 month OPT work experience in Bioinformatics.My current job requires a Master's in Bioinformatics. (I believe the H1 will be filled based upon my US Masters)My question is since my Bachelors was not a 4 year degree program, will this cause any issue with my H1B?Please let me know if more clarification with the question is required.Thanks Link to comment

jairichi Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Since you did your Master's you are fine. Don't worry. Link to comment
halo22 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 @rahul412: Why would a credential evaluation be needed? My Master's degree is more relevant to the job. Link to comment

halo22 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I got my approval notice last week. USCIS didn't ask for credential evaluation of my Bachelors. Thank you all for your input. Link to comment
