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.
