I have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and an MBA from a U.S. university. My employer submitted an H1B registration for me and listed that I am eligible for the master’s cap. However, the position requires a computer science degree, not an MBA. Is that ok?

Answer

To qualify for the master’s cap, one must have a master’s degree or higher from a qualifying U.S. university. This applies, even if you will not be using that degree to qualify for the H1B position. (25.Mar.2021)
