It is not the degree, it is the specialization. If I were you I would take 2-3 months and learn everything there is to know about a very specialized subset of tech.
When I was at Microsoft I hired a guy out of Russia who was self taught, but knew pretty much everything there was to know about Forward Error Correction in Mpeg Transport Streams. So we go him a work visa.
From the work Visa after a time you can convert to a Green Card.
Talk with a recruiter, find something they will need lots of that they can't find in the US. Learn everything there is to know, and get sponsored.
