I have a BS in computer science and an MBA. My H1B registration was selected in the master’s cap, based on my MBA. My employer is now filing the H1B petition, but listed that the position requires at least a BS in computer science. Are they required to list the MBA as the minimum requirement? Will this create any problems with petition?

Answer

The degree used to qualify for the master’s cap does not have to be the same degree listed for the minimum education requirement in the H1B petition. If the position requires a BS in computer science, that is what should be listed on the petition. (22.Jun.2022)
