AINP H-1B 2010 Aug applicants also consider skilled worker

[ponchita]

Hi. I could barely squeesed in AINP H-1B stream at exact day of shutting down. I just got confiramtion mail my application was on process  much long ago. That's it. Is there anybody who filed Aug 2010?
I also applied for skilled worker category. But today I received documents back and said I'm not eligible for skilled worker category.
I was shocked. I assumed having H-1B is big credit to prove I have skill.
I don't know what I should do now. Should I retry skilled worker application?
