New Edition of I-129 (Nonimmigrant Worker Form) Effective July 30, 2025

USCIS has published a new edition of the I-129 form, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, dated January 20, 2025.  The new form must be used for applications filed on or after July 30, 2025. Until then, the current edition, dated January 17, 2025, is also acceptable.

The I-129 form is used for most nonimmigrant employment applications, such as H-1B professional workers, L-1 multinational transferees, O-1 extraordinary ability workers, E-1/E-2 treaty traders and investors, R-1 religious workers, TN NAFTA workers, etc. 

Employers are reminded that the edition date must be visible at the bottom of the I-129 form on all pages.  If a required form page or if an edition date is missing, the application can be rejected.
