In November 2010, USCIS published a new, revised Form I-129, the
Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker. That revised form became effective
on December 23, 2010. Because there were a number of questions and
inquiries regarding Part 6 of the form (“Certification Regarding the
Release of Controlled Technology or Technical Data to Foreign Persons
in the United States”), USCIS advised individuals that they would not
be required to complete that section until February 20, 2011.
USCIS is now reminding petitioners that all petitions postmarked on or
after February 20 must include a completed Part 6 of the Form I-129.
