Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, you would qualify. The USCIS will allow us to file applications such as yours immediately upon issuance of the rule allowing us to do so. We have prepared in advance many of these applications in anticipation of the publication and so that our clients are among the first 20,000 applicants to apply for the same.

Please feel free to contact me, Linda Decker, directly at 619.233.0900 if I may be of assistance.

Sincerely,

H1b for fiscal year 2006 starts on Oct. 1, 2005 and the earliest date to file is on April 1, 2005. To file for the 20,000 quota for fiscal year 2005, you have to wait for further notice from USCIS.

Please check our website for update on H1B news.
