Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative (G-28) in Ostrander, Ohio
The G-28 (Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative) is a form where accuracy matters from the very first page. Our Columbus office prepares these packets for families throughout Central Ohio, including Ostrander. We double-check every entry, organize your supporting documents, and hand you a complete packet ready to file.
We help Ostrander clients prepare for their G-28 appointment before they visit our Columbus office. Call first and we will explain which documents to bring. Our Morse Road office is accessible from Ostrander and across Delaware County. We offer free parking, walk-in hours, and consultation in Somali, Arabic, and English — so language is never a barrier to accurate help.
Service is provided at our Columbus office (3185 Morse Rd, Ste 15). We do not operate a separate staffed office in Ostrander.
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.

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 We do not quote government fees from memory.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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does G-28 preparation take?+
Most G-28 packets are ready within 24–48 hours after you provide all required documents. Complex cases with many supporting documents may take slightly longer. We give you a realistic timeline at your free consultation. USCIS processing time after you file is separate and depends on the agency's current workload.
Can you help me if I started my G-28 application somewhere else?+
Yes. We often help Ostrander clients who started their G-28 elsewhere and want a second set of eyes before submission. Bring whatever you have completed so far and we will review it, identify any gaps, and complete the packet correctly.
Do I need to come to your Columbus office, or can you help Ostrander clients remotely?+
Most of our work is done in-office at our Morse Road location so we can review original documents in person. Many Ostrander clients find the drive worthwhile because of the thorough document review. Call (380) 269-7408 to discuss your situation before making the trip.
What happens if USCIS sends a Request for Evidence on my G-28?+
If you receive an RFE after submission your G-28, call us at (380) 269-7408. We help build response packets and organize the additional documents USCIS is requesting. Note that legal strategy for complex RFEs may require a licensed immigration attorney.
