Applying for H1B under Masters Quota of 20K

h1b2ndterm

Hello Gurus,

My Friend is a Master's student currently working on OPT. His OPT expires early next year. His Master's thesis is yet to be presented for the completion of degree. All his other coursework is complete. Is there a chance that he can apply under the Master's quota in such a case or does he need to have his actual degree certificate in hand?

Thanks for all your help.


Sorry for multiple postings. He is desperatly looking for an answer at the earliest so he could apply for H1B before masters quota is vanished.
 
Hi,

Until he completes his masters degree and has all the transcripts in hand he can't apply for H1b.

HTH,

Hi,

Tell your friend to defend his thesis and get a letter from school same day saying that he has successfully completed all requirements to earn a master of XYZ (major)from blah blah school. Masters Thesis being final requirement was defended on blah blah date. He plans to attend convocation on blah blah date and his diploma will be available within blah blah time.

Make sure all the graduate coursework that was needed to earn masters degree including thesis is mentioned on the transcript.

Best Regards.
