To make sure we accept your Form G-28, properly complete the form according to the form instructions. The most common mistake we see is that the form is not signed or does not have all required signatures. Follow these tips to avoid other common mistakes:

Include the client’s first and last name exactly as they appear on the related immigration form.

Sign your Form G-28 with a black or blue pen. We will not accept a stamped or typewritten name in place of a handwritten signature. However, we will consider a photocopied, faxed, or scanned copy of the original handwritten signature valid for filing purposes. The photocopy, fax, or scan must be of the original document containing the handwritten, ink signature.

You and your legal representative must sign.

When signing, remember to tell us your preferences for where you would like us to send your notices and secure documents (for example, to you or to your attorney or accredited representative).

Make sure the information is clear on the form.

If you complete the form by hand, use a black pen and write inside the spaces provided;

Never use highlighters or correction fluid; and

Never gray out any part of the form.
