This mandatory update is crucial for H-1B petitions, as USCIS now requires detailed documentation to align with a new wage-weighted selection system.

此項強制性更新對於H-1B請願書至關重要,因為美國公民及移民服務局(USCIS)現在要求提供詳細文件,以配合新的工資加權篩選系統。

Furthermore, the form now requires a reconciliation of wage levels between the Labor Condition Application (LCA) and the initial H-1B registration process.

此外,該表格現在要求勞工狀況申請書(LCA)與初步H-1B註冊程序之間的工資水平必須核對(ㄏㄜˊㄉㄨㄟˋ)一致。

By collecting this data directly, USCIS aims to verify that reported wage levels accurately match the duties of the role.

As a reminder, Form I-129 is filed by employers, not employees, to authorize temporary work for foreign nationals across various visa classifications, including H-1B, L-1, and O-1.

提醒您,I-129表格是由雇主而非員工提交,用於授權外籍人士在各類簽證分類(包括H-1B、L-1和O-1)下從事臨時工作。
