Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using the wrong edition – USCIS only accepts the edition dated 09/09/26 after November 9 2026. Our PDF is always the current edition.
• Missing signatures – Every petitioner and, where required, the beneficiary must sign the appropriate sections.
• Incorrect fee amounts – Verify the latest fee schedule (Form I‑129 includes a biometric fee for H‑1B/L‑1 petitions).
• Illegible handwriting – Fillable fields ensure clear, machine‑readable text.
