Form G 28

Use a Form G 28 2016 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What Form G 28 does

Form G 28 is the USCIS notice used by an attorney or accredited representative to identify representation in an immigration matter. It connects the representative’s name, organization, contact details, and client information with the applicable USCIS filing. A representative prepares the form, reviews the selected fields, signs it, and provides it according to USCIS instructions. signNow can organize the PDF, detect fillable fields, route assigned fields to the representative and client, capture an audit trail, and preserve the completed record. USCIS instructions and filing requirements remain controlling.

Immigration representatives

Immigration attorneys and DOJ-accredited representatives use Form G 28 to identify their representation before USCIS and connect the filing with the correct client, organization, and contact details.

USCIS filing teams

Employers, nonprofits, and individual immigration clients use the form package to coordinate representation details, signatures, and secure records before an applicable USCIS filing.

Business types using Form G 28

Form G 28 is most useful where immigration representation, client identity, and USCIS filing records must stay connected.

Solo immigration attorneys can prepare one Form G 28 per client, collect signatures remotely, and keep the completed representation notice with the client’s USCIS filing record.
Immigration law firms can reuse a controlled Form G 28 template, route signatures by role, and limit access to client-specific records across case teams.
Nonprofit immigration organizations can coordinate accredited representatives, interpreters, and clients through secure signing workflows while preserving an audit trail for each matter.

Best practices for Form G 28

Accurate field review, controlled signer routing, and coordinated records management reduce errors when Form G 28 becomes part of a USCIS matter.

Verify every representative and client field

Upload the current USCIS Form G 28 and compare every detected field with the official instructions before sending. Confirm the attorney or accredited representative’s name, organization, contact information, client details, and signature assignments rather than relying only on automatic field detection.

Assign each signer deliberately

Use separate signer assignments for the representative and client when both signatures are required by the selected Form G 28 version. Review the routing order, recipient addresses, and completion status before releasing the document for signature.

Preserve the audit trail with the filing

Export the completed Form G 28 and its signNow audit trail together with the related immigration matter. Restrict access to authorized personnel, protect client identifiers, and preserve a readable copy that can be reproduced if USCIS or counsel later requests evidence.

Match retention to the immigration matter

Apply the retention policy for the underlying immigration matter rather than deleting the Form G 28 after signing. Coordinate the policy with attorney-client obligations, USCIS records, organizational requirements, and any applicable state privacy rules.

Form G 28 troubleshooting

Resolve preparation, signer, security, and plan questions before the Form G 28 record is submitted or added to an immigration matter.

Form G 28 identifies an attorney or accredited representative; it does not replace the USCIS form instructions or filing requirements. In signNow, upload the current PDF, verify fields manually, and retain the completed document and audit trail for the related immigration matter.

The signNow Business plan includes templates, audit trails, and legally binding eSignatures at $8/user/month when billed annually. Confirm that your organization’s USCIS workflow permits electronic execution and separately follow USCIS delivery and submission instructions.

For multiple client matters, Business Premium costs $15/user/month billed annually and includes bulk send. Use bulk send only when each Form G 28 is reviewed for the correct client, representative, case information, and signer assignments.

Use signNow signer authentication features, including SMS-based verification where configured, and preserve the audit trail. ESIGN and UETA recognize electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention requirements are satisfied; USCIS requirements still control filing acceptance.

A completed Form G 28 should be stored with its related immigration matter, filing copy, and audit trail. signNow encrypts data in transit with TLS 1.2 or 1.3 and at rest with AES-256; apply access controls for attorney-client information.

If a signer cannot access the document, verify the email address, resend the invitation, or issue a controlled signing link. Check the assigned fields and signing order before resending, because correcting the wrong package can create an inaccurate representation record.
