- Submit G-28 together with the main immigration filing (such as I-130, I-485, or EOIR-29).
- Ensure both the client and the attorney/representative sign the form.
- File the form with USCIS, DHS, or EOIR depending on the case type.
- Keep copies of the signed form for both the attorney and the client.
Time: Same day — usually filed with the main application or appeal. Ongoing — valid while the attorney or representative remains on record.
Estimated Cost:
