India, April 4 -- The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has introduced a new update on its non-immigrant worker petition form, with the changes taking effect from April 1st, 2026.

Following the modifications, the USCIS will no longer be accepting the previous version of the I-129 form. The petitioners must submit the new version of the form from 2nd April itself. However, the older version is applicable for consideration if it was filed before 31st March, 2026.

The H-1B form allows the US employers to hire foreign workers on a temporary, nonimmigrant basis. The requirements for the applicants state that they must possess a specialization or at least a bachelor's degree in the concerned field.
