Here's what to know before submitting an immigration form on someone else's behalf:

• Authorized Help? Make sure you have proper permission. This could be a signed Form G-28 (for attorneys/representatives) or a Power of Attorney.

• Family Assisting Family? In some cases, helping family with forms might be okay without formal authorization (e.g., translation).

• Accuracy is Key! You're responsible for ensuring all information is correct.

• Communication Matters! Stay in touch with USCIS or the applicant if needed.

• Representing Someone? Follow USCIS rules for representatives.
