USCIS Form I-129

USCIS Form I-129 is a petition used by employers in the United States to request permission to hire foreign workers for temporary jobs. This form is essential for various nonimmigrant visa categories, such as H-1B for skilled workers or L-1 for intra-company transferees. Employers must provide details about the job, the employee, and their qualifications. After approval, the foreign worker can apply for a visa to enter or stay in the U.S. for the job. It plays a crucial role in managing the employment of noncitizens in the U.S. workforce.
