USCIS has released a revised version of Form I-129, which will be the only accepted edition starting May 1, 2015.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced the availability of a revised Form I-129, officially known as the Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker. This updated form is marked with an edition date of October 23, 2014.
Individuals and organizations interested in filing Form I-129 can download the revised version along with detailed instructions from the USCIS forms website. It is important to note that starting May 1, 2015, USCIS will only accept the October 23, 2014 edition of Form I-129.
After this date, previous editions of the form—including those dated October 7, 2011, January 19, 2011, and November 23, 2010—will no longer be accepted. USCIS encourages all applicants to use the latest version to ensure a smoother processing experience.
The revisions to Form I-129 are designed to enhance clarity and completeness, which will ultimately aid USCIS in processing the petitions more efficiently. By filling out the revised form completely, applicants can help facilitate a more streamlined review process.
