AILA Submits Comments on Proposed Revisions to Form I-129

AILA submitted comments in response to proposed revisions to Form I-129 that are based on USCIS’s October 8, 2020, interim final rule (IFR), “Strengthening the H-1B Nonimmigrant Visa Classification Program.” AILA raised concerns that the form revisions are predicated on an IFR that violates the APA, are unnecessary, ultra vires, and inconsistent with the PRA.
