Hi,
I am currently in the process of obtaining J1 two-year HRR waiver and my supervisor is willing to sponsor my H1B visa. I was going through some the list of required documents to start H1B processing and it says that 'the individual should possess a minimum of a bachelor's degree in the required field for the position'. What I am worried about is that I have a Ph.D. in Chemistry (Theoretical) but am presently working as a postdoc in Physics (Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, although it is an interdisciplinary research). Can my degree in different field lead to any problems when I apply for H1B visa? Does anyone has similar background and gone through this process? I would appreciate any advice/suggestions.
Thanks
