If you were an American, having no degree would not bar you from AmaGooBookSoft. There exists some variation between them to my understanding, but you can find many people at all of them who have no formal degree, or no degree relevant to the thing they are doing right now. If you can convince AmaGooBookSoft to hire you, then getting around the visa requirements is just a matter of them throwing fairly small amounts of money at the problem. They're pretty experienced with doing it. In brief, they hire expensive immigration lawyers who know the legal requirements cold, identify which visa category you most closely fit into, then produce exactly the documentation showing that proper application of US immigration law compels issuing you a visa. The going rate is less than your first month's salary. Optimize for the job offer, rather than worrying about the visa, in the short run. (And yeah, this situation certainly sucks for folks who aspire to e.g. work at startups for whom writing a $10,000 check is not below the care floor.)
