G-28 Immigration Services in Shelby, Ohio
Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative (G-28) help for Shelby clients is something we handle every week at our Columbus office. Shelby residents are served from our Columbus office, with phone support available before making the trip from Richland County. We are a non-attorney immigration services provider — we get your forms right, and we tell you upfront when your situation calls for an immigration attorney instead.
We help Shelby clients prepare for their G-28 appointment before they visit our Columbus office. Call first and we will explain which documents to bring. Shelby is part of the diverse immigrant community we serve across Central Ohio. We take time to explain each step in plain language, and we will always tell you when a situation requires an immigration attorney rather than a immigration services provider.
Service is provided at our Columbus office (3185 Morse Rd, Ste 15). We do not operate a separate staffed office in Shelby.
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 We do not quote government fees from memory.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.
