On Jan. 17, 2025, USCIS will publish a revised edition of Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker (edition date: 01/17/25). The form has been revised to align with the recently announced H-1B modernization final rule and the H-2 modernization final rule.
The 01/17/25 edition of Form I-129 replaces the 04/01/24 edition of Form I-129. There is no grace period for the revised edition of Form I-129 because this revised edition is necessary for USCIS to apply the final rules. Effective Jan. 17, 2025, USCIS will reject Form I-129 petitions received using the 04/01/24 edition of the form.
