LATEST NEWS ALERT: New Form I-129 Beginning Apr 1 2026
The latest version of the Form I-129, dated 02/27/26, goes into effect with petitions received by USCIS April 1 and onward. Given the change in policy that the effective date no longer corresponds to postmark but rather to date received, petitioners should begin using the new version of the form immediately. No substantive changes have been made for O and P petitions, and sample O and P Form I-129s have been posted in our Appendix. Remember to confirm the edition date in the lower left corner of each page - failure to use the proper edition will result in USCIS returning a petition.
As always, items that are not pertinent may be left blank or petitioners can handwrite "N/A" to indicate a question is not applicable.
