Greetings,
This is just a free comment, not an answer to your question, which
only a G-A Researcher can post  - one with a blue name.

This is the site of the US Citizenship and Immigration Service with
the FAQs relative to H1B visas:
http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/h1b.htm

As you will see:  "H-1B status requires a sponsoring U.S. employer."
Because of the limit on the number of H1B visas issued each year, it
is sensible to get started early and have the employer making the
application early in the year.  I don't know if applications for 2007
can be submitted in 2006.

Just a bit of information to start.  I hope that someone can provide you more.
