Well, like I said, it's the job itself that will most likely require a degree, not the application for the visa. You actually need to have a job secured prior to getting your visa.
That said, if your bachelor's degree comes from an accredited community college, then you shouldn't have a problem. If you don't know what that is, accreditation is basically an "official" recognition of the academic quality of a school.
If you're from the US, your school would need to be accredited by the following organizations (based on where the school is located) ->
Regional accreditation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If your degree comes from somewhere that's
isn't accredited, you'll be playing your luck. It depends on whether the employer who is considering to hire you decides to research where your degree came from. A Japanese company might not want to go through the hassle of finding out whether your degree comes from an accredited institution or not.
