Undergrad/Masters/H1B in Chemical Engineering. How to switch H1B to Computer Science

[abaddon91]

Hi,

I did my Undergrad and masters in Chemical Engineering and currently working in US on H1b Visa in a related field.

However I got very interested in Computer Science/Machine Learning Field and want to change my career now.

Since CS is not my specialization what can I do to get H1b Approved for a Computer Science Company ?

Can I do Online masters in Machine Learning while working on H1b and once completed can I transfer H1B to a CS Company ?

Thanks for your help.

Answer: You will surely need to proof, you have education/ experience background to work on IT field.. If you have any computer related subjects that you studied during bachelors or masters or any certification courses you have completed on computer science or work experience on IT will be helpful in order to proof as specialty occupation job.

Can I do Online masters in Machine Learning while working on H1b and once completed can I transfer H1B to a CS Company ?
