3Optional Checklist for Form I-129 H-1B Filings
USCIS
Department of Homeland Security
Form M-735
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
Internal Form
This is an optional checklist to assist FY 2018 H-1B petitioners submit an I-129 H-1B petition.
Do not submit this checklist to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
ALERT:
Starting April 3, 2017, USCIS will temporarily suspend premium processing for all H-1B petitions. This
suspension may last up to 6 months. We will notify the public before resuming premium processing for H-1B
petitions. While premium processing is suspended, we will reject any Form I-907 filed with an H-1B petition. If the
petitioner submits one combined check for both the Form I-907 and Form I-129 H-1B fees, we will have to reject both
forms. Read more here:
USCIS Will Temporarily Suspend Premium Processing for All H-1B
Petitions.
All checks or money orders are signed and made payable to the “U.S. Department of Homeland Security.” If the
petition is submitted with the wrong filing fee, USCIS will reject it as improperly filed.
Proper fees are enclosed:
Base fee of $460
American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998 (ACWIA) fee of $750/$1,500
(if/as applicable)
Fraud Prevention and Detection fee of $500 (if applicable)
Public Law 114-113 fee of $4,000 (if applicable)
Premium Processing Service fee of $1,225 (if applicable)
We prefer that you submit a separate check for each fee. For example, if you are required to pay the base filing
fee, the ACWIA fee, and the premium processing fee, you should submit three separate checks. If you only
submit one check as combined payment for all applicable fees and certain fees do not apply or are incorrect, we
may reject your H-1B petition.
Petition includes original signatures (preferably in black ink) on Pages 6, 7 (if applicable), and 14 of Form I-129
(with a revision date of 01/17/17).
For older versions of Form I-129 (with a revision date on or after 10/23/14, but before 08/13/15), the petition must
include original signatures (preferably in black ink) on Pages 7, 8, 11 (if applicable), and 14. For Form I-129 with
a revision date of 08/13/15 or 12/23/16, the petition must include original signatures (preferable in black ink) on
Pages 6, 7 (if applicable) and 14.
All sections of Form I-129, H Classification Supplement to Form I-129, and H-1B Data Collection and Filing Fee
Exemption Supplement (with revision date of 10/23/14 or later) are completed and all required pages are enclosed.
If you are seeking Premium Processing Service, Form I-907 (with revision date of 01/29/15 or later) is completed,
signed with an original signature, and enclosed with the H-1B petition.
NOTE: If you are signing Form I-907 as an attorney or accredited representative for the petitioner, you must
include a properly completed and signed Form G-28 with the petition.
