You have bachelors degree, you are in h1, you can file GC on EB3 , not on Eb2 .

So you CAN file GC on EB3 from your current situation , without doing masters.   EB3 for Nepal is running on Aug 2005 date, which means it will be 6 years to start processing if you file now.  On the contrary, if you can get a masters degree even by doing part time school ( which lot of workiing people do ) you could then get GC filed on Eb2 which has no waiting time.

"do i NEED to have masters degree and get a masters degree required job." -- most of the software jobs say they require only bachelors degree qualification , it is difficult to find jobs that require masters degree esp in IT field. But since GC is not for current job but rather a job in future, good companies do help their Int'l employess to file GC in Eb2. You may not see those job requirements very easily.

Without masters - your employer should be ready to file your GC - it will be Eb3 - wait time more than 5-6 yrs.

With masters - part time while u work full time in h1B , get a degree - you may land into a job where they would do GC in EB2 and there is no wait time in processing.  

MBA would be hardest way to do GC, not advisable unless all you wanted is MBA degree.
