To get an H1B the company must show that its needs cannot be met by the domestic workforce. The simplest requirement they apply is a specific degree. If they relax the hiring requirements and accept people without degrees, they lose the justification to the government to bring in H1Bs. As a result highly qualified candidates just like yourself without degrees (domestic and international) get shut out of hiring. Where are you based currently? Your best bet is to work for a remote office of a large company and then try to get transferred to the US. I'll happily put in a good word for you.
