What is Form G-28?

Form G-28 is the notice a licensed attorney or DOJ-accredited representative files to appear on a client's behalf in an immigration matter before USCIS, ICE, or CBP. Once it is on file, the agency recognizes the representative, sends case correspondence to them, and can discuss the case with them — Part 4 checkboxes even let the client route original notices and secure documents such as a green card or EAD to the representative's office. There is no filing fee (it is listed at $0 on the USCIS G-1055 fee schedule), and the form is filed with the related application, petition, or appeal, or mailed to the office where a case is already pending. The current 4-page PDF is the 09/17/18 edition; USCIS still accepts the 05/23/18 edition and has said a new edition is coming, so check the edition date on uscis.gov/g-28 before filing. The form captures the representative's eligibility (bar admission and standing, or DOJ recognition and accreditation), the agency and specific matter, full client identification, and the client's signed consent. It covers DHS matters only — appearances in immigration court use the EOIR-27/EOIR-28 instead. JustFill opens the official G-28 PDF in your browser: AI detects every field so you can type or dictate answers, it works on scanned copies, and no Adobe is needed. A firm can save the completed layout as a reusable template, so the attorney block is filled once and only the client details change from case to case.

Who fills out Form G-28?

  • Licensed immigration attorneys entering an appearance on a client's behalf before USCIS, ICE, or CBP

  • Law firm staff and paralegals who prepare the form for the attorney's and client's signatures — often for dozens of cases a month

  • Law students and law graduates appearing under the direct supervision of the attorney or representative of record

Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of Form G-28 asks for. JustFill’s AI will detect these fields automatically when you upload the PDF — review the breakdown below so you know what to enter.

Part 1 — Information About Attorney or Accredited Representative

The representative's USCIS Online Account Number, name, business address, daytime and mobile phone, email, and fax.

Part 2 — Eligibility Information (attorneys)

Bar membership with each licensing authority, bar number, whether the attorney is subject to any suspension or disbarment order, and the law firm or organization name.

Part 2, Items 2–4 — Other representatives

The DOJ-recognized organization and accreditation date for accredited representatives, association with the representative of record for limited appearances, and supervised law student or law graduate details.

Part 3 — Notice of Appearance

Select exactly one agency — USCIS, ICE, or CBP — then list the form numbers or specific matter, the receipt number if one exists, and whose request the appearance is at: applicant, petitioner, requestor, beneficiary/derivative, or respondent.

Part 3 — Information About Client

Client or entity name and authorized signatory, the client's USCIS Online Account Number and A-Number, contact details, and the client's own mailing address — not the attorney's office, unless it serves as the designated safe address.

Part 4 — Client's Consent to Representation and Signature

Privacy Act consent to release records; delivery checkboxes 1.a.–1.c. (original notices to the representative, secure documents such as a green card or EAD to the representative, or the I-94 notice direct to the client); and the client's ink signature and date.

Part 5 — Signature of Attorney or Accredited Representative

The representative's declaration under 8 CFR 103.2 and 292 with signature and date, plus the signature of any supervised law student or law graduate.

Part 6 — Additional Information

Continuation blocks keyed to page, part, and item number — used for extra bar admissions, explanations of discipline orders, or anything that did not fit above.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Missing signatures — USCIS calls the unsigned form its most common G-28 mistake and rejects any unsigned form; the client signs Part 4 and the representative Part 5, and stamped or typewritten names are not accepted (a scanned copy of an ink signature is fine)
  • 2Mixing pages from different form editions — every page must carry the same edition date (currently 09/17/18, with 05/23/18 also accepted) or USCIS may reject the form
  • 3Writing the client's name differently than it appears on the underlying filing — on a petition that means the petitioner's name, exactly as entered on that form
  • 4Selecting the wrong agency or client role in Part 3, or leaving out the form numbers and receipt number, so the appearance never attaches to the intended case
  • 5Mailing a G-28 for an already-pending case to a lockbox instead of the office where the case is pending, or omitting 'ATTN: G-28' on the envelope and the receipt number for the pending case
  • 6Highlighting, using correction fluid, graying out sections, or leaving Part 1 fields incomplete — USCIS will not accept the form

Frequently asked questions

USCIS currently posts the 09/17/18 edition and still accepts the 05/23/18 edition, even though the expiration date printed on them has passed. USCIS has announced a new edition is coming, so check the edition date at the bottom of each page against uscis.gov/g-28 before you file — and keep every page from the same edition.
Yes, when the underlying case is filed online: the representative prepares the G-28 in a USCIS online account for legal representatives, the client digitally signs it from their own account using a passcode, and it is submitted with the case. Representatives can also submit new G-28s through their account for cases linked to it. JustFill prepares the paper PDF for mail filings; it does not submit anything to USCIS.
Yes. Form G-28 is listed at $0 on the USCIS fee schedule (Form G-1055), and the PDF is a free download. JustFill also fills it online for free — the form is then filed together with the client's underlying application, petition, or appeal.

A licensed attorney in good standing, or a representative accredited through the Justice Department's Recognition and Accreditation Program for a recognized organization. A supervised law student or law graduate completes Part 2, Item 4, and signs in Part 5 alongside the supervising representative.
Yes. The client signs Part 4 in ink to consent to representation and the release of their records — USCIS rejects unsigned forms and does not accept stamped or typewritten names, though a scan of an ink signature is valid. Part 4 is also where the client chooses whether notices and secure documents go to the representative.
No. Form G-28 covers matters before DHS agencies — USCIS, ICE, and CBP. Appearances before an immigration judge use Form EOIR-28, appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals use Form EOIR-27, and DHS matters outside the United States use Form G-28I.
