H1b for Associate Degree

[prad31]

Hello,

I have completed medicine (MBBS degree) from India and planning to apply for Ultrasonography technician in the community college ( an associate degree). I have

no experience. My current visa status is H4 and trying to know if i would be eligible to apply for H1B visa after my completion of associate degree?

Also , Is there any way I can find the list of hospital that has previously sponsored or willing to sponsor H1B?

Thanks!

For an H1, the job has to require a 4-year US degree or the equivalent foreign degree.

An associate degree is only 2 years, so you can't get an H1 with that.

Why are you not trying to pass the necessary exams and join a Residency? What is your current Immigration status?

Yes you can ....Associate degree plus 6 years experince in same field qualifies for H-1 visa

The OP didn't say anything about experience in the field...

Your MBBS is irrelevant to an ultrasound technician job. An H-1 is based both on your credentials and on what the job requires. And no hospital can reasonably say that they require an ultrasound technician to have an MD/MBBS.

You should really study your steps and try to get into residency. As an ultrasound tech, the only reasonable avenue is an EB-3 green card, and the wait for that is absurd.

Yes, that's the second issue.

No experience in the world would matter if the job doesn't require a 4-year degree in a specialty.
