What Form G-28 is
Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative, is the form that tells USCIS — or ICE or CBP — that a specific attorney or accredited representative is handling an immigration matter on someone's behalf. Once it is on file, the agency sends notices and correspondence to the representative as well as the applicant.
The form records who the representative is, which case they are appearing in, and the client's written consent to be represented. AnyPDFfiller helps with the filling and signing step — the finished G-28 is then filed with the agency alongside the underlying case.
Who uses the G-28
The G-28 is completed by the representative and the person being represented. It is typically used when:
- an attorney takes on an immigration applicant or petitioner as a client;
- a Board-recognized organization's accredited representative assists someone;
- a case is being filed with USCIS — for example alongside an I-765, I-131, or N-400;
- a matter is before ICE or CBP rather than USCIS.
On the form the representative also states their eligibility — a bar number and licensing state for attorneys, or accreditation details for accredited representatives.
How to fill the G-28 with AnyPDFfiller
Download the current Form G-28 from the USCIS website, then upload that PDF here. AnyPDFfiller detects the fields, so you can type the representative's information and eligibility, the client's details, and the specific matter or receipt number. Both the representative and the client add a signature, and then you download the finished PDF to file with the case.
Filing fee and how it is submitted
There is no separate filing fee for the G-28 itself — it is submitted together with the application or petition it relates to, either in the same online account or in the same mailed package. Because it must match the case it is attached to, always confirm you are using the current edition and the correct agency (USCIS, ICE, or CBP) on the official G-28 page at uscis.gov before filing.
G-28 questions people ask
What is Form G-28 for?
It formally notifies USCIS, ICE, or CBP that an attorney or accredited representative is representing someone in an immigration matter, so the agency copies them on notices.
Who signs the G-28?
Both parties: the client signs to consent to representation, and the attorney or accredited representative signs to enter their appearance. You can add both signatures before downloading.
Is there a filing fee for the G-28?
No. The G-28 has no fee of its own; any fee comes from the application or petition it is filed with.
Do I file the G-28 by itself?
Usually not — it is submitted together with the underlying case, such as an I-130 or N-400, so the agency links the representation to the right matter.
Can both signatures be added online?
Yes — each person adds their signature the same way you add text, then you download the completed PDF. Filling and downloading here is free; a watermark-free copy is the premium download.
