Complete I-129
Fully completed Form I-129 with employer and beneficiary data entered consistently and legibly, matching all supporting documents and the beneficiary's passport.
A complete, accurately prepared HR I-129 reduces USCIS requests for evidence and processing delays, protects compliance with immigration requirements, and documents authorized employment terms for both employer and beneficiary.
HR coordinators and immigration specialists usually assemble the I-129 packet; legal counsel reviews classification and supporting evidence before filing.
Employers must designate an authorized signatory; beneficiaries review and provide personal documents and attestations to complete the filing.
