The regulations for AFIP applications stipulate: "Applications that do not meet the requirements of section 11 of the Regulations will not be counted toward the annual cap and will not be processed." In January, numerous applicants submitted their applications without fulfilling the one-year work requirement, and consequently, a significant number of these applications have been returned. In accordance with the regulations, the quotas from these returned applications should be made available again, thereby giving us a fair opportunity to apply!
