H1b requires that the job require a minimum qualification of a Bachelors degree. If the Pilot job requires the people to have a min of BS, then they can process your h1b. Make sure you join only after the H1b is approved.

Your experience from Software does not matter. You don't require an experience to get a H1b.

-- ok so on my current H1B Comair Delta connection can process for H1B transfer. I am Graduate from India thats BBA (business administration).
If my current H1B possible to transfer then I will take transfer. or they have to apply for again in new H1B CAP.

[txh1b]

Not subject to cap as you are already cap counted. They can file for a transfer. I wonder if a pilot job requires a BS.

-- I don't know, this is the my first job, right now they ask me for my flying log sheet, health certificate, FAA commercial pilot license copy and SSN.
even I join ATP Flight school they never ask me for my degree, yes I show them my highschool (12th Indian school) certificate and Indian birth certificat , school leaving certificate for details of school and birth age confirmation. thats it...
Thanks TxH1b.
I am happy to use immihelp

I don't think this job qualifies for a H1b if it does not need a degree.

To qualify for a H1b, a degree is a must.

H1b Visa Education Requirement (Taken from Immihelp "Visas" page"):

The person must hold a U.S. bachelor's or higher degree from an accredited college or university and the degree must be required to qualify in the specialty occupation.

If the person holds a foreign degree, then that degree must be determined to be the educational equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree. In some cases, a person may obtain an educational equivalence through a combination of education, specialized training or progressively responsible work experience. Three years of specialized experience is generally considered equivalent to one year of college education.

-- I never heared Pilots or any courses related pilot have a Degree... for commercial , private pilots have special courses but its not called Graduation or awarded any Degree, they have license to fly commercial or private air planes, flying records in hours. In this matter I think pilot people is good qualified people. even pilot jobs are always in demanded.

It doesn't matter. The FAA Certification is mandatory and so are the flying hours. The question is if a job advertising the need of a pilot REQUIRES a degree as a prerequisite. If so, it qualifies for a H1b. If not, it does not.

An example from a recent search from a job board shows this:It shows preferred qualification as a degree but it should be the basic qualification for it to qualify for a H1b.


As our preferred candidate your experience will include:

Basic Qualifications:
• U.S. Airline Transport Pilot Certificate
• First Class FAA Medical Certificate
• Challenger 601 or equivalent rating
• Six years flight experience with turbine powered aircraft in a corporate flight department
• Proficient in effective Crew Resource Management
• A thorough working knowledge of all laws and regulations governing aircraft operation in domestic and international airspace

Other Qualifications:
• Excellent communication and decision-making skills
• Unquestionable ethical standards
• A demonstrated professional demeanor and the ability to effectively interact with all levels of management

Preferred Qualifications:• A minimum of 5,000 flight hours
• A Bachelors degree • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook)
• Bi/multi-lingual language (English primary and Spanish fluency)

-- Ohh com'on OMM & txh1b, my story is, COMAIR requiered only Highschool / diploma or equievalent degree, but for me they saw as first officer pilot , only Highschool or diploma its enough. No problem for me , I saw them all educational certificates , but they dont care of my degree. lots of airlines don'tcare of graduations, (yesterday, I contact my Indian friend from Bhopal he is in southwest airlines he is 12th Sci - pass, he cleared his FAA commercial license from Miami FL, he got H1B from southwest airlines 6years ago and applied for GC now he is on EAD.), its depend on airlines too, as Txh1b you saw opportunity 5000hrs flying may be that is for captain or for ground duty pilot, comair need first officer pilot only 500 or 600hrs fly, they start hiring process now.
