Automate Your Form i129 Is filing Form i129
petitions for non-immigrant workers taking up
your time? Not anymore! We are here to make it
simple for you. What is Form i129? Any employer
who is willing to sponsor an alien for temporary
employment in the US has to file the Form i129
petition. This is a 36-page document with the
primary petition consisting of 8 pages. The
remaining pages are the supplement pages which
are required based on the visa category
selected. The primary petition contains
information about the employer along with the
roles and responsibilities of the current
position being filled. An approved Form i129 has
to be attached in the visa application along with
the required supporting documents while
submitting for further process.

• This petition is filed for the below-mentioned
  visa categories
• H-1B, H-1C, H-2A or H-3 status
• O-1 and O-2
• P-1, P-2, P-3 and P-1S, P-2S or P-3S status
• Q1
• R-1

• In addition to these visa categories, you should
  also file this petition
• When there is an extension of stay for a
  non-immigrant who is already residing in the US
  (extension).
• For changing the status of the non-immigrant who
  is presently residing in the US with different
  immigration status (status change).
• When there is a material change in the job
  details of the non-immigrant who is already
  working in the US (amendment).

Who files the Form i129 petition? As an employer,
you are responsible for filling this petition for
the non-immigrant you are hiring. The completed
form has to be properly signed before filing the
petition to the USCIS along with the filing
fees. Any employer filing the petition should
have a clear understanding of the process to fill
the Form. So, USCIS provides a clear set of
instructions for filing the Form i129 petition
based on each non- immigrant category. But as no
two Form i129 petitions come with the same set of
instructions, employers find it hard to remember
all the instructions, which may lead to errors.
The lengthy document along with these
complications makes the form a complex one. So
some of the employers approach attorneys to file
their petitions.
Here are a few setbacks in filling the Form i129
manually Being an employer, you are responsible
for filing the Form i129 petition for every
non-immigrant worker you recruit. Though the
employer information entered in the form is the
same for all the employees in your organization,
you cannot re-use the previously entered data.
This results in a lot of re-work along with an
increase in time.
