What was your Bachelors? Was it B.Sc 3 years regular?

yep… B.Sc - 3 yrs regular (biotech, botany & chem)

You look qualified based on 3+2 years of education. However, it is utmost important for the employer to get education evaluation done in your case as degree was not a 4 year college degree, and was not in Comp Sc field.

You will have to submit detailed experience letters showing how you qualify for the offered H-1 position.

thanks for info , saurabh
