Yes! You can use AI to fill out Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance

G-28 has a Form Complexity Index of 65 out of 100, placing it in the complex complexity tier. This score is calculated deterministically from the form’s own structure using Instafill’s published Form Complexity Index methodology, so it can be reproduced and independently verified — it is not a subjective estimate.

For G-28 specifically, the score reflects 101 fillable fields across 4 pages, grouped into 31 sections, and 42 conditional fields that only apply depending on earlier answers, 1 table or repeating lists. The number of fields is the largest factor in the base score (weighted 36%), followed by how difficult those fields are to complete based on their type, where free-text and signature fields count for more than simple checkboxes (26%). The number of pages that actually contain fields (15%), the amount of conditional “fill-only-if” logic (16%), and how many sections the form is divided into (7%) account for the rest of the base. On top of that base, the index adds points for tables and repeating lists, bundled instruction pages, and dense page layouts — capturing difficulty the base alone can miss.

In practical terms, a complex score means the form is demanding, with many fields, multiple pages and branching rules that are easy to get wrong. Instafill removes that effort entirely: our AI reads your information, maps each value to the correct field — including the conditional ones — and completes G-28 accurately in under a minute, with every field available for you to review before you download.

Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance, is a legal document used in the United States by attorneys or accredited representatives to notify the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that they are representing an individual or entity in matters related to immigration. By filing this form, the attorney or accredited representative is formally recognized in the case and is permitted to communicate with the agencies on behalf of their client.

Form G-28 can be filed by attorneys who are eligible to practice law in the United States and are in good standing with the bar of the highest court of any U.S. state, territory, or the District of Columbia. Additionally, accredited representatives who are affiliated with a recognized organization by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) can file Form G-28. The form must be submitted in conjunction with an application, petition, or motion before USCIS, EOIR, or DHS.

In Part 1 of Form G-28, the attorney or accredited representative is required to provide their full name, firm name, and complete contact information, including their address, phone number, fax number, and email address. They must also provide their attorney or accredited representative state bar number (unless they are an accredited representative not required to have one). This part of the form establishes the identity and contact details of the legal representative.

The purpose of providing contact information in Form G-28 is to ensure that the USCIS, EOIR, or DHS has the correct details to communicate with the attorney or accredited representative regarding the case. This includes sending notices, decisions, and any other correspondence related to the immigration matter. Accurate contact information is crucial for timely and effective communication between the legal representative and the government agencies.

In Part 2 of Form G-28, an attorney or accredited representative demonstrates their eligibility by providing their bar membership information, which includes the name of the state of admission or other qualifying authority, and their bar number. Accredited representatives must indicate their affiliation with a recognized organization by the BIA. This part of the form serves to verify that the individual is authorized to represent clients in immigration matters before the respective agencies.

In Part 3 of Form G-28, the attorney or accredited representative can indicate their appearance before the following agencies: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), including the Immigration Courts and the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The form allows the representative to specify which agency the appearance pertains to, as the procedures and requirements may differ among these agencies.

In Part 3 of Form G-28, the following information about the client is required: the client's full name, address, date of birth, and the client's Alien Registration Number (A-Number) if applicable. This part of the form ensures that the representative is associated with the correct individual and that any correspondence or decisions related to the case can be accurately directed to the client or their representative.

The client's consent to representation in Part 4 of Form G-28 is significant because it authorizes the named attorney or accredited representative to act on behalf of the client in matters before the indicated immigration agency. This consent is necessary for the representative to receive information, submit documents, and communicate with the agency regarding the client's case. It also signifies the client's agreement to the representation and acknowledges that the representative is authorized to receive confidential information about the client's case.

Form G-28 provides options regarding the receipt of USCIS notices and documents. The attorney or accredited representative can choose to have all notices and documents sent to their address, or they can designate that only decisions and notices be sent to them while documents are sent to the applicant or petitioner's address. This choice is indicated in Part 4 of the form and ensures that the representative and the client receive the appropriate correspondence from USCIS in a manner that suits their preferences for managing the case.

An attorney or accredited representative signs and declares the information provided in Form G-28 by completing Part 5 of the form. In this section, the representative must provide their signature, printed name, and the date of signing. By signing, the representative attests under penalty of perjury that the information provided in the form is complete, true, and correct. Additionally, the representative must indicate their bar membership information or accreditation status, which serves as a declaration of their eligibility to represent clients before the specified immigration agency.

A law student or law graduate may appear on behalf of a client in immigration matters only if they are participating in a law school clinic or are working under the supervision of an attorney or accredited representative and if they comply with the specific requirements set by the Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). They cannot independently represent a client without proper accreditation or supervision.

If additional space is needed to provide information on Form G-28, the applicant or legal representative should attach a separate sheet of paper with the additional information. The sheet should include the applicant's name and Alien Registration Number (A-Number), if applicable, at the top of each page, and indicate the part and item number to which the answer refers. It is important to sign and date each additional sheet.

The OMB No. (Office of Management and Budget Control Number) and expiration date of Form G-28 are located at the top right corner of the form. These details are provided by USCIS to indicate the form's approval by the OMB and the date until which the form is considered valid. The OMB No. is used for inventory and tracking purposes, and the expiration date ensures that applicants are using the most current version of the form.

The client's mailing address should be provided in Part 1 of Form G-28, under the section titled 'Information About the Applicant or Petitioner.' It is important to provide a complete and accurate address to ensure that all correspondence from USCIS is received by the client or their designated legal representative.

An attorney or accredited representative can request original notices from USCIS by properly completing and filing Form G-28 with the application or petition they are representing. In Part 4 of Form G-28, titled 'Applicant or Petitioner's Statement, Contact Information, Declaration, Certification, and Signature,' the applicant or petitioner must indicate whether they want the notices to be sent to their attorney or accredited representative. If this section is completed accordingly, USCIS will send original notices and secure documents to the attorney or accredited representative's address as listed on Form G-28.

A client can change their election regarding the receipt of notices and secure identity documents from USCIS by submitting a new Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative. On the form, the client can indicate their preference in Part 4, where they can choose to have all notices sent to their attorney or accredited representative, or directly to themselves. Similarly, in Part 5, they can elect to have secure identity documents sent to either their attorney or accredited representative, or directly to themselves. It is important to ensure that the new Form G-28 is properly signed and filed with the appropriate USCIS office handling the client's case.

If a client wants their Form I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record) sent directly to them, they should indicate this preference on Form G-28. In Part 5 of the form, under the section 'Receipt of Secure Identity Documents,' the client can select the option 'Applicant/Petitioner/Requestor' to ensure that the Form I-94 is sent directly to them instead of their attorney or accredited representative. It is essential to provide the client's correct mailing address to avoid any delivery issues.

The purpose of Part 6, Additional Information, in Form G-28 is to provide additional space for the attorney or accredited representative to include information that may not fit in the other sections of the form or to provide further clarification on certain entries. This section can be used to list additional applicants, petitioners, or requestors represented in the same case, or to provide additional details regarding the attorney or accredited representative's eligibility or qualifications. It is a useful section for any supplementary information that is pertinent to the representation and the case being submitted to USCIS.

In Part 2 of the form, under 'Attorney or Accredited Representative Information,' there is a specific field for the 'Attorney State Bar Number (if applicable).'

For accredited representatives who are not attorneys, they must provide information regarding their accreditation status and the recognized organization they are associated with.

An attorney or accredited representative can indicate their association with a recognized organization on Form G-28 by providing the necessary information in Part 2, 'Attorney or Accredited Representative Information.'

If the representative is an attorney associated with a recognized organization, they should provide their bar number and may also include the name of the organization in the 'Firm Name/Business or Organization Name' field.
