Background
On December 31, 2015, USCIS
published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal
Register at 80 FR 81900 proposing to
amend its regulations related to certain
employment-based immigrant and
nonimmigrant visa programs. The
NPRM allowed for a 60-day public
comment period on proposed
amendments and 27,979 commenters
responded. As part of the proposed
regulatory amendments, USCIS
proposed several revisions to Form I–
129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker.
USCIS invited the public to submit
comments regarding proposed revisions
to Form I–129 as part the NPRM’s 60day public comment period in
accordance to 5 CFR 1320.11. USCIS is
currently reviewing those public
comments in consideration of how to
address and/or revise its proposed
amendments.
Under 5 CFR 1320.5(a), USCIS is
required to evaluate comments received
under § 1320.11. In addition, 5 CFR
1320.5(b) requires USCIS to ensure that
Form I–129 displays a currently valid
OMB control number. As USCIS
continues its careful review and
evaluation of the public comments
received from 27,979 commenters,
USCIS must ensure that Form I–129
continues to display a currently valid
OMB control number. Currently, Form
I–129 is set to expire on October 31,
2016. To ensure Form I–129 retains a
valid OMB control number during
review and evaluation of the public
comments received from 27,979
commenters, USCIS must implement an
Extension, Without Change, of a
Currently Approved Collection.
Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Extension, Without Change, of a
Currently Approved Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and

form is used by an employer to petition

temporarily to perform services, labor,
and training or to request extensions of
stay or changes in nonimmigrant status
for nonimmigrant workers.
