    For you to change status to an H-1B, you need a petitioner. The position must require at minimum, a bachelors degree and you must have that degree of the equivalent. Your PhD, must be evaluated to be at least the equivalent of a four year US bachelors degree.

    Please note, the H-1B's are numerically limited to 65,000 per fiscal year, so most petitioners file April for an October 1 start date. So you need to line up a petitiioner now. You should find an experienced attorney for a consulation and to file your case. Hope this helps, good luck!:)
