USCIS Rejecting Form I-129 Petitions That Lack Required Name and Address

USCIS Rejecting Form I-129 Petitions That Lack Required Name and Address

USCIS reminds that starting August 5, 2019 petitions that do not include the petitioner’s or applicant’s name and primary U.S. office address in Part 1 of the form will be rejected. USCIS will subject all requests for nonimmigrant classifications filed on Form I-129 to this rejection criteria, including the time-sensitive H-2A visa classification for temporary agricultural workers.

USCIS recognizes that in certain circumstances, the person signing Part 8 of Form I-129 may be an employee of the petitioning entity and have the same address as that of the petitioner named in Part 1 of the form. In such a case, USCIS would not reject the Form I-129 because of the duplicate addresses.
