What Form G-28 is for

Used by attorneys and accredited representatives to enter an appearance on a USCIS case.

Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative (G-28) is generally filed by applicants completing supporting forms that accompany a main USCIS filing. Whether this form fits your situation depends on your specific facts, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official USCIS page before you file.

What Asal can help prepare

We help clients organize G-28 forms when working alongside licensed attorneys on document packets.

  • Prepare the form from the information you provide
  • Organize supporting documents
  • Coordinate certified translations when needed
  • Give you a clear filing checklist

What Asal cannot legally advise on

  • We do not provide legal advice or case strategy.
  • We do not represent you before USCIS.
  • We do not decide whether you qualify for a benefit.

If your case involves complex legal issues, consult a licensed immigration attorney.

G-28 document checklist

  • Attorney bar information
  • Client signature
  • Case receipt numbers

Your case may need additional documents. We give you a tailored checklist during a free document review.

Fees and official sources

USCIS filing fees change periodically and vary by category, age, and filing method. We do not quote government fees from memory. Always verify the current G-28 filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.

Processing times for G-28 vary widely by service center, workload, and case complexity, and they change month to month. Check current estimates with the USCIS processing-times tool and your receipt notice rather than relying on a fixed number. Filing a complete, well-organized packet is the best way to avoid Requests for Evidence that add delay.

USCIS government fees are separate from Asal preparation fees. Verify current fees on USCIS.gov.

Filing tip

Only authorized representatives may sign G-28—Asal prepares documents but does not act as your attorney.

Common problems we check before filing

  • Using an outdated edition of G-28 instead of the current version posted on USCIS.gov.
  • Leaving fields blank instead of writing "N/A," which can trigger a rejection.
  • Submitting documents in another language without a certified English translation.
  • Forgetting to sign the form or mailing it to the wrong USCIS address.
  • Paying the wrong filing fee or omitting required supporting evidence.
