Form I-129 (for H-1B Visas)

Form I-129 is a petition filed by a U.S. employer on behalf of a foreign worker seeking to obtain an H-1B nonimmigrant visa. The H-1B visa allows U.S. companies to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations requiring theoretical or technical expertise. Form I-129 includes information about the employer, the job position, and the foreign worker’s qualifications and is typically filed with supporting documents such as the worker’s education and experience records, as well as a Labor Condition Application (LCA) certified by the Department of Labor.
