Applicant Information
Full legal name, date of birth, country of birth, passport details and any USCIS A-number; be precise for identity linking and background checks.
A correctly prepared application preserves lawful status while USCIS adjudicates the request, reduces the risk of denial or accrual of unlawful presence, and documents factual grounds for continued admission under U.S. immigration law.
Common filers include nonimmigrant travelers, dependents, and legal representatives completing USCIS extension requests on behalf of applicants.
Understanding each party’s role helps ensure signatures, fees, and supporting evidence are provided in the correct order and by the right person.
A nonimmigrant visitor currently in the U.S. whose passport admission stamp or I-94 will expire soon; prepares identity documentation, travel history, and evidence of continued eligibility to support a timely USCIS extension request.
An attorney or accredited representative assembles the file, verifies identity documents, drafts legal arguments when necessary, and ensures fees and biometrics are scheduled according to USCIS instructions; provides a signed Form G-28 if representing the applicant.
| Field | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Signature Placement | Place signature and date fields where USCIS expects signature blocks. |
| Attachments | Require passport, I-94, and evidence uploads before submission. |
| Authentication | Enable email and SMS verification for signer attribution. |
| Notifications | Set receipt and status update emails to applicant and representative. |
Choose a platform that supports common file formats, strong signer attribution, and integration with document storage and case management systems.
Submit the application prior to the end date on your I-94 to preserve status where permitted.
USCIS issues a Form I-797 receipt that confirms filing and case number.
Attend any scheduled ASC appointment to avoid processing delays.
Adjudication varies by form and service center; expect weeks to months.
International travel may affect eligibility; consult USCIS rules before departing.
Assemble accurate form, evidence, and fees ready for filing.
USCIS issues a receipt with case number and intake date.
Complete biometrics or interview if USCIS schedules them.
USCIS grants, denies, or issues a request for evidence.
Full legal name, date of birth, country of birth, passport details and any USCIS A-number; be precise for identity linking and background checks.
Provide the nonimmigrant classification, I-94 admission date/number, and passport admission stamp to establish the baseline period of authorized stay.
Attach documents proving continued eligibility (employer letters, school enrollment, medical records) and explanatory statements for delays or changed circumstances.
Include the correct USCIS filing fee and biometrics fee where required; missing fees commonly cause rejection or processing delays.
If an attorney files, include Form G-28 or equivalent authorization to link counsel to the case and permit secure communication.
Ensure the applicant (or authorized representative) signs and dates the form in the required format to demonstrate intent and attribution.
