H1 Visa transfer and green card with 3 years bachelor degree

I am very new to the visa issues. Therefore, please pardon me for asking stupid questions.

I am a software developer with 10 years of relevant experience. I have 10+2+3 degree in a non-computer science/non-IT field. I am working for a leading Indian IT company (which has huge presence in USA) and came to USA in April 2011 with H1B visa. I have been offered a job in another US company as a permanent employee. Although I have the facts about my degree in my resume, I just wanted to understand the following :-

a) Would there be any problem in transferring the visa because of my degree?

b) Would there be any problem in applying for the green card because of my degree? Which category the company can apply the green card for - EB2/EB3?

c) If I take up a 2 years diploma course in Computer science/IT, would that make up for my 3 years degree?

Thanks a lot for the help,

Ashish

To qualify for EB-2 you'd need a Master's degree or higher. Unfortunately, being from India, EB-3 is currently backlogged about 10 years and EB-2 is backlogged about 8. Unfortunately, I don't know about the specifics of transferring an H1B.
