Answer: Unfortunately,
You are too late for this years allotment.
As of October 1, 2004,
Until October 1, 2005.
Thus, as unfair as it seems,
The H-1B Cap prohibits U.S.
Employers from hiring global talent On October 1, 2004.
Essential action would include exempting from the H-1B numerical cap graduates from U.S.
Universities who have earned a Master’s degree or higher.
Such a rational solution to this crisis would help ensure a workable H-1B program that would give U.S.
Employers access to the talent they need and help retain jobs in America.
A select number of H-1B professionals are graduates from U.S.
Top universities’ Master’s and PhD programs.
In the graduate-level math and sciences programs,
Foreign nationals represent roughly half of all graduates.
Prohibiting access to these world-class minds raises troubling issues.
Not only would U.S.
Employers miss out on American-educated talent,
But we would be handing this talent to our competitors abroad.
Indeed,
Foreign countries are updating their immigration policies to attract this highly educated talent,
Making the competition to retain the best and the brightest that much more difficult for the United States to win.
The exhaustion of this fiscal year’s visa numbers also has made it more difficult for Americans to receive needed services.
For instance,
And work to develop products and services that improve the lives of Americans.
H-1B professionals include psychologists and special education instructors who work with the mentally challenged,
Engineers who design tunnels and subway corridors that can withstand terrorist attacks, and biomedical researchers central to the fight against cancer, AIDS and other diseases.
Without access to these highly educated foreign professionals,
America will suffer.

Answer: There are other types of nonimmigrant visas such as the O, E, L, and other H’s.
You should definitely look into those other options and not go out of status.
