USCIS will introduce a revised Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, on January 17, 2025, aligning with new H-1B and H-2 modernization rules. There will be no grace period for transitioning to the updated form, which will replace the 04/01/24 edition. The changes aim to streamline the petition process, expand job eligibility, and enhance compliance measures for both H-1B and H-2 visa categories, impacting employers and workers from January 2025 onward.
