including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of Information Collection: 

New Collection. 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: 

Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker: E or 

TN Classifications; Petition for 

Nonimmigrant Worker: L 

Classifications; Petition for

the applicable component of the DHS 

sponsoring the collection: I–129E&TN; 

I–129L; I–129MISC; I–129O; USCIS. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: Business or other forprofit. USCIS will use the data collected 

on Form I–129E&TN to determine 

eligibility for the requested 

nonimmigrant classification and/or 

requests to extend or change 

nonimmigrant status. An employer may 

use this form to apply to USCIS for an 

employee to temporarily enter the 

United States and work as a TN 

nonimmigrant. A treaty trader, treaty 

investor, CNMI investor, employer, or 

applicant also uses this form to request 

an extension of stay in one of these 

classifications for an employee or for 

themselves, or to change the status of an 

employee currently in the United States 

as a nonimmigrant, or their own status 

if they are currently in the United States 

as a nonimmigrant, to E–1, E–2, E–2C, 

E–3, or TN. An employer also uses this 

form to request an extension of stay in 

E–3 classification for an employee, or to 

change the status of an employee 

currently in the United States to an E– 

3 nonimmigrant. An employee also uses 

this form to request an extension of stay 

in E–3 classification for themselves, or 

to change their own status to an E–3 

nonimmigrant if they are currently in 

the United States in a nonimmigrant 

status. 

USCIS will use the data collected on 

Form I–129L to determine a noncitizen’s 

eligibility for L–1A and L–1B 

classification. The form is also used to 

determine whether, in advance of filing 

the individual L–1 petition, certain 

petitioning companies or organizations 

have established the required 

intracompany relationship for an LZ 

Blanket petition. An employer uses this 

form to petition USCIS for the 

noncitizen to temporarily enter the 

United States as a nonimmigrant. An 

employer also uses this form to request 

an extension of stay or change of status 

on behalf of the noncitizen. The form 

standardizes these requests and ensures 

that the information required for 

assessing eligibility is provided by the 

petitioner about itself and the 

noncitizen. 

USCIS will use the data collected on 

Form I–129MISC to determine eligibility 

for the requested nonimmigrant 

classification and/or requests to extend 

or change nonimmigrant status. An 

employer (or agent or sponsor, where 

applicable) uses this form to petition 

USCIS for a noncitizen to temporarily 

enter as an H–3, P, Q, or R 

nonimmigrant. An employer (or agent or 

sponsor, where applicable) also uses 

this form to request an extension of stay 

of an H–3, P, Q, or R nonimmigrant 

worker or to change the status of a 

noncitizen currently in the United 

States as a nonimmigrant to H–3, P, Q, 

or R. The form standardizes requests for 

H–3, P, Q, or R nonimmigrant workers 

and ensures that basic information 

required for assessing eligibility is 

provided by the petitioner. 

USCIS will use the data collected on 

Form I–129O to determine eligibility for 

the requested nonimmigrant 

classification and/or requests to extend 

or change nonimmigrant status. An 

employer or agent uses this form to 

petition USCIS for a noncitizen to 

temporarily enter as an O 

nonimmigrant. An employer or agent 

also uses this form to request an 

extension of stay of an O nonimmigrant 

worker or to change the status of a 

noncitizen currently in the United 

States in another nonimmigrant 

classification to O. 

These forms also serve the purpose of 

standardizing petitions or applications 

filed for these various nonimmigrant 

classifications and ensuring that basic 

information required for assessing 

eligibility is provided by the petitioner 

or applicant. They also assist USCIS in 

compiling information required by 

Congress annually to assess 

effectiveness and utilization of certain 

nonimmigrant classifications. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time
