Online Filing for Attorneys and Accredited Representatives
This page explains how attorneys and accredited representatives can file forms and manage cases online.
To file a form online on your clients’ behalf, you must first create a USCIS online account. To learn how to create an account, visit the How to Create a USCIS Online Account page.
Use your USCIS online account to:
- File certain applications online for your clients;
- Track all your cases;
- View notices from us;
- Respond to any Request for Evidence (RFE) we send you;
- Upload unsolicited evidence;
- Send a question to an immigration services officer through secure messaging; and
- Manage your representative information in one centralized place.
To learn more, visit our Benefits of a USCIS Online Account page.
How to Track and Manage Cases
Your USCIS online account homepage is client-centric. Cases for each client are organized under that client’s name, in alphabetical order. You can also search and filter your clients and cases to help you find what you’re looking for.
For cases that require your action, there is a red “action required” alert to let you know when we’ve issued a Request for Evidence or an appointment notice.
File Form G-28 for New Clients with Pending Applications
If a client asks you to represent them on a case they previously filed online for themselves, you can also file a separate G-28 online for that case.
For more information, see our Filing Your Form G-28 page.
If you previously filed certain applications, petitions, or requests on a paper form using a USCIS lockbox facility, you may have received a USCIS Online Account Access Notice issuing you a USCIS Online Account Number. You can find this number at the top of the notice. (We previously called this the USCIS ELIS Number.)
When you create your USCIS online account, enter your online access code located on the same notice to link your USCIS account and access your paper-filed cases (if applicable).
When you log in, you will see tabs labeled “My Clients,” “Profile,” “Inbox,” and “Withdrawn G-28s.” To update or complete any part of your profile, select the “Profile” tab. Here, you can update your mailing address, email address, your organization name, and other information about you.
You can use your account to file the following forms online for your clients:
- Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card;
- Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker;
- Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative;
