Hi everyone,
I was in the USA under a F1 visa studying Electrical Engineering. With 6 classes left to graduate I had to leave the country (in good standing) and return to Brazil without a degree.
Well, last year I had a job opportunity in the USA to work as an Electronics Engineer designing circuit boards, and this company applied for my H1B claiming that I had the equivalent education and work experience to a college degree. Unfortunatelly the counsul didn´t agree with that and denied my H1B.
So, I am now taking 2 classes online with the same university I did most of my engineering, which will earn me a US bachelor degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, Technology Emphasis. Classes will end in May, and I´ll be returning to the US embassy at about october.
The lawyer said that this will qualify me for the H1B. But I´m kinda skeptical. Will it? Because my job will be designing circuit boards, and even though most of my classes are Electrical Engineering classes the name of the degree I´ll earn is Bachelor in Interdisciplinary Studies, Technology Emphasis.
Thanks
