jainishusa Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 For H1, you need to have 4 yrs of bachelor's degree. I have 3 years of foreign bachelor degree but also have MS Degree from USA. So I am guessing 3(Bachelor)+1(MS) = 4 Years US bachelor or equivalent for H1 applicaiton? Thanks Link to comment

jairichi Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Lets wait for the expert answer. Any one? Whether you wait for an expert or not your attorney would advise you to get a credential evaluation done to be submitted along with H1B petition. Link to comment

My attorney is ok, the reason I'm asking here is cuz Initially my attorney said we do not need degree evaluation. He said I've foreign degree transcript so that should be fine. I have a doubt so that is why I'm checking here for experts input. Link to comment

Confusion starts mostly when one has foreign degree transcripts and ends up getting an RFE. That is the main reason to have a credential evaluation done to show its equivalency to US degree.

JoeF, Appreciate your response. I am ready to spend $ whatever it takes. Only thing i would like to know is 3 Years of BSC in Computer science (Foreign)+ MS from USA = Regular quota.. does this consider as 4 years equivalent to US bachelor in order to apply h1? Is this acceptable to apply under the regular quota of h1 application? Link to comment

Once you do your credential evaluation, you will know that. That's what credential evaluation mean...!!!!! Link to comment
