This is not true!

As long as your foreign degree is evaluated equivalent to a US degree, there is no advantage to having a non-us masters degree for obtaining a H1B visa.

This can get a bit tricky, e.g. my 6 semester bachelor degree wasn't enough for US bachelor degree and I had to prove that I had done extra 2 semesters of my master's.

Your lawyer needs to get a degree certification company to say that your degree is equivalent to a 4-year US degree.

My undergrad was also 3 years, and my visa went through without problems. Never done a master's degree.
