BAL Analysis: Companies should anticipate status updates to each of their H-1B candidates in their myUSCIS accounts and begin preparing to file full petitions for selected candidates. Companies are reminded that while the filing period will remain open for 90 days, they should prioritize time-sensitive candidates such as F-1 students on cap-gap and others whose status may expire soon. BAL clients may access all the latest updates and analysis on the H-1B Electronic Registration Resource Center.
