In 1996 I had completed my course in Mechanical Engineering. Due to personal reasons I could not complete my arrears. In 2004 I had got a chance to work with a software company where I had joined computer engineering in a distance mode and I have completed the same. From 2004 onwards I have been working for some reputed (Mid Level) IT companies. Please let me know if I am eligible for H1B Visa.
