That worked for me until I wanted a visa. Now I am getting a CS degree.

In the US, the skilled worker visa (the infamous h1b) requires a bachelor's or masters, or 12y relevant work experience, or a mix of the two.

Was it that you needed any degree or did you specifically need a CS degree for your visa? Which country was the visa for?

USA. I'm currently on an L1B (which is difficult to get and renew, and only renews once). To get an H1B I need that degree, and it helps if it's related to the field.
