Alert: Revised edition of Form I-129

On Jan. 17, 2025, USCIS published a revised edition of Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, (edition date: 01/17/25) reflecting combined changes associated with the recently announced H-1B modernization final rule and the H-2 modernization final rule. There is no grace period for the revised edition of Form I-129 because this revised edition is necessary for USCIS to apply the final rules.

Effective Jan. 17, 2025, they will reject Form I-129 petitions received using the 04/01/24 edition of the form.
