Form I-129

Form I-129, also known as the Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, is a document used by U.S. employers to request permission to bring foreign workers into the United States for specific jobs, typically in specialized fields. This form is essential for various visa categories, including H-1B for skilled workers and L-1 for intracompany transferees. Employers must provide details about the job, the prospective employee, and demonstrate that the position meets certain criteria. Approval of Form I-129 is a crucial step in the visa application process, allowing foreign nationals to work in the U.S. temporarily.
