Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (Form I-129)

The Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (Form I-129) is a formal request filed by an employer with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It seeks permission to hire a foreign worker temporarily for specific jobs, such as specialists, temporary workers, or interns. The form provides details about the employer, the job offered, and the worker’s qualifications. Once approved, it allows the foreign worker to apply for the appropriate visa to enter or stay in the U.S. for the duration of the employment. This process ensures that the employment aligns with U.S. immigration laws and work authorization requirements.
