Hi Dr Scrumpy,
Yes, UK degrees/diplomas are comparable and recognized towards the educational requirements of obtaining an H1b visa in the US.
I had a 2 year HND diploma and A levels which actually counted as 4 years education towards my H1b application (I also had 8 years work experience). This was a few years ago now but I dont think anythings changed.
The requirements are typically either;
A bachelor's degree (or its foreign equivalent)
OR
12 years work experience in your industry
OR
lower level degree/diploma Plus work experience to total 12 years
Good luck!
