Can I qualify for the H1B master’s cap based on a degree I earned online?

Answer

Sure, assuming the degree is from an accredited, nonprofit U.S. college or university, the fact that it is an online university is irrelevant. You can check the accreditation status of a U.S. university through the U.S. Department of Education website. (04.Jan.2024)
