华盛顿—美国公民及移民服务局(USCIS)在其 I-129 表格页面公布,自11月9日起,该局只受理版本日期为09/09/26的新版《非移民工人申请表》(Form I-129)。新版表格于9月9日发布,与《H-1B与L-1签证9-11响应与生物识别出入境费最终规则》同日生效相关联。
受理口径方面,移民局表示:02/27/26旧版若在11月9日之前寄出(以邮戳为准)或电子提交,仍予受理;旧版若在11月9日当日或之后寄出或电子提交,将被拒绝。9月9日当日或之后寄出或电子提交的 I-129 申请,须按最终规则要求缴纳相关费用。
最终规则由国土安全部于8月10日发布,修订了 H-1B 与 L-1 签证的法定9-11生物识别费规定,要求属「受覆盖雇主」的申请人为全部 H-1B 与 L-1 申请缴纳该费用。移民局对受覆盖雇主的界定为:在美国雇佣50名或以上员工、且其中50%以上员工持 H-1B 或 L-1A/L-1B 非移民身份的雇主。I-129 表格由美国雇主为外籍员工提交,涵盖 H-1B、H-2A、H-2B、H-3、L-1、O-1、P、Q-1、R-1 等临时工作类别,也用于 E-1、E-2、E-3、H-1B1 与 TN 等类别的延期或身份转换申请。
In Washington, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) states on its Form I-129 page that, starting November 9, 2026, it will accept only the new edition of Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimm
USCIS will accept the 02/27/26 edition of Form I-129 if it is postmarked or electronically submitted before November 9, 2026, and will reject the 02/27/26 edition if it is postmarked or electronically submitted on or after November 9, 2026. Form I-129 petitions postmarked or electronically submitted on or after September 9, 2026, must include the fees as required under the final rule.
The Department of Homeland Security issued the final rule on August 10, 2026, amending regulations concerning the statutory 9-11 Biometric Fee. The regulatory changes require petitioners that are covered employers to submit the 9-11 Biometric Fee for all H-1B and L-1 petitions. A petitioner is a covered employer if it employs 50 or more individuals in the United States and more than 50 percent of those employees are in H-1B or L-1A or L-1B nonimmigrant status. Petitioners use Form I-129 to file on behalf of temporary workers in classifications including H-1B, H-2A, H-2B, H-3, L-1, O-1, P, Q-1, and R-1, and to request extensions of stay or changes of status for E-1, E-2, E-3, H-1B1, and TN classifications.
