I-129S Nonimmigrant Petition Based on Blanket L Petition

If you have an L Blanket visa based on an L Blanket registration of the group of companies, you must fill out the I-129S application form. Below you will find everything you need to know about the I-129S form.

What is the I-129S form?

The I-129S application form is called Nonimmigrant Petition Based on Blanket L Petition and thus already reveals for which application procedures it is used. The I-129S form is usually used in the context of consular L-blanket visa applications. Foreign employees who are employed as Manager / Executive or Specialized Knowledge Professionals can go through a simplified application procedure in contrast to the regular L-1 visa if L-Blanket registration is available. L-Blanket procedures are usually applied for directly in the consular sections of the U.S. authorities - i.e. outside the United States - due to the simplified application process.

However, certain L-blanket application processes may also fall under the jurisdiction of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or USCIS. For example, applications for extension of status or change of status within the USA.
