I am currently pursuing 6-month online certification program in "management" domain from the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) here in India and this IIM has been awarded the EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) accreditation by EFMD, the globally recognized international organization for management development. This institute has AACSB (The Association to Advanced Collegiate Schools of Business) accreditation in the US. I have bachelors in chemical engg from India and masters in chemical engineering from the US. I plan to use the H1B remainder option to come back to the US and would like to change careers.
My question is as follows :
1. Is the "online certification in management" that I am currently pursuing from the AACSB accredited institute as mentioned above considered valid and acceptable by the USCIS for changing careers from chemical engineering to managerial roles such as e-commerce/software domain on H1B?
2. I have also done courses in management, data analysis, economics, computer programming and other math related courses at undergraduate level in chemical engineering and would like to know if these courses would be of any help to change domains as transcripts for bachelors and masters degree are requested during the H1B processing?
The answer is not really. These courses are not considered to be bachelor's degree. But having a degree in chemical engineering may qualify for a manager's position.

Post Visa interview received Pink slip and Visa rejected
Hi Sir,
I attended a Visa interview on 10th Jan and received a yellow slip for administrative processing. Next few days case status changed to approved and issued. A few days later case turned refused after a few days changed to administrative processing. A few days later I received the passport with a Pink slip and marked my visa rejected under section 212(a)(6)(C)(i) Material Misrepresentation / Fraud. May I know, if is there any chance to know the grounds of Misrepresentation / Fraud that we did?
The rest of the people who attended visa interviews from the same employer will face any challenges? Thanks,
