Using the eimmigration e-Filer to file a form

Step 1. Schedule a form for e-filing.

• Log in to your eimmigration account.

• Open the case that you're working on and go to the Forms for that case.

• Click the 'Lock' icon to lock the form. 

• Then click 'Schedule' to schedule the form for e-filing. This will ensure that it's available when you launch the e-Filer extension.

• Depending on the form, you may see a dialogue box labeled eFiling Miscellaneous Fields asking you to confirm the data you're about to load onto the e-Filer.

  
  
  
• If this box pops up, click 'Next.' Confirm or edit the data displayed. Then click the 'Save and Schedule' button.
  
  
  

• The form status will update to 'Scheduled' and the form will be available for e-filing.

  

Step 2. Launch the e-filer.

• When you're ready to e-file a form, click on the extension and sign in to the e-filer. 

• A panel will open on the right side of your browser window.

• Enter your website name into the Website Name field. 

• NOTE: Your website name is the portion of your site URL that is unique to your organization. For example, if your site URL is https://www.eimmigration.com/LAWFIRMABC, then your website name would be LAWFIRMABC. You can also locate this information in the Tools > eFiling section in your eimmigration system.

• After you click Login, you'll be asked for your eimmigration credentials. Enter your username and password. Then click 'Login' again.

Step 3. Select the form you want to file.

• Once you're logged in, you'll see a list of all scheduled forms.

• Find the form you wish to e-file, and click the Form number. You can also use the search box to find a form by form number, case number, or case party.

• Your Chrome browser will redirect you to the government website for the form you wish to e-file.

• You may need to log in to the government site or complete a Captcha to access the site.

• In most cases, you'll be asked to read instructions. You may also be asked to answer a security question. You'll need to complete these steps to proceed. 

  
  

   

Step 4. Populate the data from the form to the government website

• Once the form appears on the government website, click the play button at the top of the eimmigration e-Filer. 

• The e-Filer extension will populate the data one field at a time. 

• When the data populating from the first page, the extension will display a 'Population Done' message just below the play button. You can then click the play button again to move to the next page, and repeat that process.

• Once you've finished e-filing the form, click the 'Select' menu next to the form you just e-filed. Then click on 'Complete.'

  

• You'll be prompted to enter a Reference Number. 

• Enter the Reference Number and click the 'Mark as Complete' button. Once you do this, the form will no longer appear in the e-Filer. 
  

• You can go back to the Forms section for that case to see the 'Completed' status, along with the completion date and reference number.

• You will also have an option to reschedule the form if it needs to be filed again.
