有人有具体些的信息吗，这一拖不知道要拖到啥时候去了
Dear AILA Member,
The USCIS Office of Congressional Relations has prepared a draft notice
advising that H-1B Visa Reform Act of 2004 petitions, for H-1Bs for U.S.
advanced degree graduates, should not be filed until guidance is published in
the Federal Register. Such guidance is not yet published.
AILA is pressing the USCIS on the various issues concerning this notice and
the filing of H-1B petitions under the H-1B Visa Reform Act of 2004. As soon
as the USCIS releases additional information with respect to these filings,
AILA will make that information immediately available to the membership.
The following is the text of the draft USCIS notice on this subject - note
that it provides that the USCIS "will reject any new H-1B petition that is
filed in advance of the effective filing date as established in the
forthcoming Federal Register notice." It is expected that this language will
not change in the final notice.

CIS TO IMPLEMENT H-1B VISA REFORM ACT OF 2004 Advises Employers Not to File
Petitions Until New Guidance is Issued
Washington, D.C.- U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is
currently preparing guidance for the implementation of the Omnibus
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2005 which created a new exemption from the
annual H-1B congressionally mandated cap of 65,000 visas. While the
applicable provisions of the H-1B Visa Reform Act become effective March 9,
2005, USCIS advises employers not to file H-1B petitions seeking to employ an
H-1B worker who may benefit from these provisions until USCIS publishes
guidance in the Federal Register. USCIS will reject any new H-1B petition
that is filed in advance of the effective filing date as established in the
forthcoming Federal Register notice.
