申请H-1B，填写I-129的说明

申请H-1B程序中的I-129表填写说明
（只适用一个F-1首次转H-1B者）
I-129表（以下简称129）是申请H1B的主要内容，该表格及其填写说明，可以从移民局官网https://www.uscis.gov/i-129网页，点击相应标题下载。
129共36页，内容除了H1B外，还涉及其他许多身份，占用大量篇幅，是个综合性的表格，说明也是如此（因此看起来很费劲）。这给初次看到表格的人带来很大疑惑和困难。
实际上，与H1B有关的只有p1-8、p13-14、p19-21，共13页，填写完毕，打印出来，邮寄即可。其他页都不用填写打印。
. 1point3acres官网上关于申请H-1B的说明还是16财年的，应该还有效。操作前务必详读几遍。

本文参考了前人经验和一亩三分地最新信息，在此一并致谢。
但本文只是个人意见，且未经实践检验，因正值申请季，故冒昧发表，仅供参考。请网友慎重采信。

填表过程详述如下：
P1
part1 公司雇主申请的从2开始填。5只填FEIN号。

P2
Part2 在1处填H-1B；2选a；3 None；4选b或者a，详见下面说明；5填1（一个人）。
说明：
1、要求COS(change of status)是在I-129的part2的4，Requested Action 下选b，批准后得到I-797A（附新的I-94），当H生效后自动转身份。要求CP(consular processing)则选a，批准后得到I-797B，需从境外持批准文件，申请H-1B签证进入美国，其时间可以自控。
2、在这两种情况下，part4都可以选通知北京大使馆或其他口岸。这项是为了人在美国境外，或者H批准前不能在美国停留的人预备的。当然CP是必须走这条路的。
3、如果申请COS，而目前F-1身份不能延续到H生效，或者期间出境，移民局掌握情况后可能不给I-797A，而给I-797B。

Part3 从2开始填。3—4如实填。

P3
Part3  4-6继续填

Part4 注意1a，如果你目前在境外或可能批准时在境外，填一个最方便申请H-1B签证来美国的渠道，一般写北京大使馆（也可以写加拿大或墨西哥口岸，看方便）。如果你目前在美国也可以填，因为不知未来有什么意外。
1d 在美国国外的地址输入不进去，可以打印后手填，或转到第8页补充。
2 yes；

P4
一般情况下，3—7 no；8 yes，a、b no；9 no；10 空；11a no；11b 空。

Part5 1、2 如实填写。

P5
3 如果有跟公司所在地不同的工作地点，则填写。
4 如果你填写了3，则需要在申请材料中附一个行程表，说明什么时候在哪工作，多长时间等，应填yes。否则no。
5 根据实际工作地点填写；6 no；7 据实填写；8根据7填写；9 对应单位时间的工资。最好是按小时或年，跟LCA的表达方式一致。
10 据实填写。有人写usual benefit，不知行不行。
11 工作起始不得早于H-1B生效时间，如10月1日。终止时间按LCA的到期时间填写。
12 Type of Business 网上对这个词组多数按企业结构解释，即有限责任公司或合伙公司等。也有少数按行业解释，如酒店或IT等。我倾向于第一种解释。
13—16据实填写。
Part6 雇主公司是否涉密。没有的话不填。

P6
Part7 签字页，填雇主老板或授权人，并本人亲笔签字。
Part8 应该是律师签字。没有律师就空着。

P7 填写同前

P8
Part9 所有129没有填开的或补充的，写这里，还可加附页。
到此主表填完了。

P13  跟H有关的附加材料
1 雇主/申请人；2a 一个受益人的写名字，2b空、3空。否则只填2b 写人数，3填所有的人名；
4  选a，其余一律空。
5 、6、选no；7a 选no，则7b空。

P14
Section 1的1和2，尽量简洁填好。这是将你学历和专业工作岗位相结合的关键内容。当然在支持材料中还要详述。
下面第一排三个空由雇主老板签字。
其他下面的都空着。

P19  Data Collection and Filling Fee
1-2是申请人和受益人的名称和姓名。
Section1 基本信息。
1据实填写。2只选一个。
Section2 计算费用。
据实填写。

P20
接着填写
Section3 属于哪个cap的，据实填写。

P21
接着填写。如果不是cap exempt，则不填。
Section4 如果不是off site工作，1填no，其他不填。

全部结束。

智能格式用计算机输不进去的，可以打印后手填。
-baidu 1point3acres仔细检查几遍，不给自己留遗憾。

申请材料邮寄地址根据雇主所在地和邮寄方式不同而变化。

补充内容 (2016-3-20 12:22):
part5的12，我看到有律师填的是第二种解释。比如什么行业。
关于part6，我看到有的律师在公司不涉密的情况下，选1，也许可以这样填。
另外，关于17财年的官网说明已经上网了。请仔细对照。
特此告知大家。

Frequently Asked Questions about Part 6 of Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker


Introduction

On Nov. 23, 2010, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) revised Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker. The revised Form I-129 and subsequent editions contain Part 6, Certification Regarding the Release of Controlled Technology or Technical Data to Foreign Persons in the United States. Part 6 must be completed for certain Form I-129 petitions postmarked on or after Feb. 20, 2011.

Questions & Answers about Part 6 of Form I-129

Q1.  What is Part 6 of Form I-129?
A1.  Part 6 of Form I-129 is an attestation regarding the release of controlled technology or technical data to foreign persons in the United States. Part 6 requires petitioners to affirm that they have reviewed the export control regulations. It further requests petitioners to indicate whether a license is required from either the Department of Commerce (DOC) or the Department of State (DOS) to release technology or technical data to the beneficiary of the petition. If a license is required, the petitioner must certify that the beneficiary will not access such technology or data until the license has been obtained.

Q2.  What is the purpose of Part 6?
A2.  In 2002, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported that vulnerabilities in the deemed export licensing system could allow technology transfers to countries of concern (GAO-02-972). The GAO reported that DOC was not sufficiently coordinating its efforts with those of INS (now USCIS) to identify and follow up on foreign nationals who change their immigration status to obtain jobs that could involve dual-use technology controlled under the Export Administration Act.

In addition, an April 2004 report (OIG-04-23) issued by the Inspectors General of several departments -- including DOS, DOC and Homeland Security found that USCIS did not include the protection of controlled technology as part of its process of adjudicating change-of-status applications submitted by foreign nationals in the United States.

Part 6 of Form I-129 was a solution for addressing the issues raised in these two reports.

Q3.  What are the export control requirements?
A3.    The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) require U.S. persons, including companies, to seek and receive authorization from the U.S. government before releasing controlled technology or technical data to foreign persons in the United States (15 CFR Parts 770-774 and 22 CFR Parts 120-130). U.S. companies must seek and receive a license from DOC and/or DOS before releasing controlled technology or technical data to nonimmigrant workers.

Q4.  Are these export control regulations new?
A4. No. These export control regulations are not new. However, Form I-129 was revised on Nov. 23, 2010, to include Part 6, Certification Regarding the Release of Controlled Technology or Technical Data to Foreign Persons in the United States. Part 6 must be completed for certain Form I-129 petitions postmarked on or after Feb. 20, 2011.

Q5.  Is Part 6 required for all Form I-129 petitions?
A5.  No. Part 6 must be completed only for petitions seeking H-1B, H-1B1, L-1, or O-1A nonimmigrant status for the beneficiary.

Q6.  Will a petition be rejected if Part 6 is required but has not been completed after Feb. 20, 2011?
A6.  No. USCIS will not reject Form I-129 if Part 6 is not completed. USCIS will issue a Request for Evidence (RFE) to provide the petitioner with the opportunity to complete Part 6.

Q7.  What will happen to a petition if Part 6 is required but the petitioner declines to respond to the RFE?
A7.  The petition will be denied should the petitioner decline to respond to Part 6 in response to an RFE.

Q8.  Will USCIS require a copy of the export control license if one is necessary?
A8.  No. At this time, USCIS does not require a copy of the export control license as part of the nonimmigrant visa petition process.

Q9.  Will a petition be denied if an export control license is required but has not been obtained prior to filing the petition?
A9.  No. USCIS will not deny the petition on the basis that a license is required but has not been obtained prior to the filing of the petition. However, the certification on Form I-129 includes a statement that the petitioner will prevent access to the controlled technology or technical data until and unless the petitioner has received the required license or other authorization to release it to the beneficiary. Failure to do so, where required under applicable law, may constitute a basis for revocation of the Form I-129 petition.   

Q10.  Where can I obtain additional information about the export control regulations?
A10. DOC’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) administers the Commerce Control List (CCL) and is responsible for issuing licenses under the EAR. Information about EAR and how to apply for a license from BIS can be found at www.bis.doc.gov. Specific information about EAR’s requirements pertaining to the release of controlled technology can be found at www.bis.doc.gov/deemedexports.

DOS’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) administers the U.S. Munitions List (USML) and is responsible for issuing licenses under the ITAR. Information about the ITAR and how to apply for a license from DDTC can be found at www.pmddtc.state.gov. Specific information about the ITAR’s requirements pertaining to the release of controlled technical data can be found at www.pmddtc.state.gov/faqs/license_foreignpersons.html.

请版主点评一下，免得误导别人。

1.我认为 Q5和A5关注的是哪种身份的要填，列举了必须填的几种，而排除其他身份的不填。
但H-1B虽然是应该填的身份，也要考虑具体情况是否有必要填。
一般都要求表格不能空，但实际上这个表格里对某个具体公司，就有许多不需要填的项目。
这个问题，我们还是请版主给个准确答案吧。因为前人许多都说不必填的，否则我也不敢造次。
2.是的。我用的是最新下载的新版，都有标注。第8页不是签字页。
3. 申请人是公司，受益人是个人，永远的。

"P5 Part6 雇主公司是否涉密。没有的话不填。"
我认为此处没有涉密的话应该选1： A license is not required from either the U.S. Department of Commerce or the U.S. Department of State to release such technology or technical data to the foreign person
不知楼主不填的根据是什么呢？欢迎指教！

涉密的技术才有license的问题。

A5.  No. Part 6 must be completed only for petitions seeking H-1B, H-1B1, L-1, or O-1A nonimmigrant status for the beneficiary.

谢谢您的回复，不过还有几个疑问：
1. 关于part 6， 在您贴的faq里并没有找到可以不填的依据，并且Q5里的answer有must be completed的字眼，还请赐教；
2. 想跟您核实一下，目前最新版的I129，需要签字的是Page6 和Page14吧？老版里有Page8 需要签，但是新版好像取消了。。。
3. Page 13-14里的Name of Petitioner 应该是填公司名吧，不是填公司里的申请者的名字吧？
还请赐教讨论！谢谢！

谢谢楼主科普。

请教一下，什么时间邮寄呢？4月1日开始受理case，是说4月1日之前必须寄到吗？

必须在4月1日当天和接下来的共5个工作日内，精确制导地寄到。
早了不行，晚了也不收了（除非今年不满额）。
一年就这几天，别错过了。

start date 我的是九月一号。因为不能超过183天。
