/

USCIS has announced that Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker will be separated into several individual forms and has issued a 60-day Notice and Request for Comments on the proposed forms. These new forms will combine information from the main Form I-129 with information from the current Supplements to create unique forms tailored to specific nonimmigrant classifications. This is intended to consolidate and simplify the information collection requirements for respondents.  The proposed forms are as follows: 

  •    Form I-129H1 will collect information for the H-1B and H-1B1 programs.

  •   Form I-129E&TN will collect information for the E and the TN programs.

  • Form I-129L will collect information for the L nonimmigrant program.

  •   Form I-129MISC will collect information for H-3, P, Q, or R classifications.

  •   Form I-129O will collect information for the O nonimmigrant program.
