My H1 B application has been selected for processing. I got a confirmation e-mail from my attorney today. I wish you all good luck.

Albertsons LLC in Arizona and it was by premium processing.
The attorney provided me with the tracking number. Wish you good luck.

Don't worry. Your masters' degree need not be related to Pharmacy. You just need to have a masters degree (in any field) to apply under advanced degree quota.

Check this out
H-1B Masters Exemption
Requested start date must be on/after 10/1/08 and within 6 months of filing date

• Beneficiary has earned a Masters (or higher) degree from a United States educational institution (as shown by "yes" answers to both question 5 in Part A of Form I-129 page 10 and question 7 in Part C of I-129 Form page 11).


Or is it because the beneficiary has a master's or higher degree in a speciality related to the employment?

Walmart has applied for H1B under advanced degree quota for me for the position of a graduate pharamcy intern and I did my masters in biochem. Now I don't know if USCIS will consider my application or not since they can always say that my internship didn't require masters in biochem.....hence I am worried.

As biochemistry is also one of the part in pharmacy,I don't think you will have a problem.You can always explain them like pharmacy got so many links with microbiology,bio-chem,biotech and so on.I think you have a major pharmacy bachelors degree and you have FPGEC certificate.So don't worry,you will get selected and in the worst senario you may get a queiry but your lawyer can always explain them and resolve this issue.Keep your spirits up.
