Unaccredited master degree for GC process


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I have a masters degree from university which is unaccredited.  What are pros and cons if i include this information in my i485 application under husband’s GC process?


If i include MS degree, there could be RFE about accreditation. If i don’t include MS degree, there will be 2 years of F1 visa without valid reason. 
Note: Never used CPT, currently on H1b on regular quota.

Degrees from unaccredited institutions can never be used for an immigration benefit. But in your case your I-485 is based on your spouse. If the institution was allowed to admit foreign students, i.e., to issue I-20s, there is no issue for you.
