I will be starting a new job in a week..

I will be starting a new job in a week and I was wondering how long I should wait before I go to BTC and wait for an answer. Someone told me that I should wait a year before asking because they will say that it is pre-existing. Any help with this matter will be much appreciated. Thanx
