If you have an academic degree, which is equivalent a U.S. B.A. degree, you are eligibile to apply for an H-1B visa/status, assuming you have a job offer and a willing sponsor. However, H-1B visas are not available for 2006 financial year. You should think of a different non-immigrant visa, or shoot for 2007 year H-1B.

You should consult with a competent U.S. immigration attorney.
