Depending on the case type additional filing requirements may apply.
For example, H1B filings require a completed and certified LCA Supporting evidence. And employer documentation, may also be mandatory for employment-based cases.
Certain case types may require signed letters and documents from the petitioner.
All required forms and letters should be generated signed and uploaded before moving to e-filing.
Please also, note that the standard PDF forms are not really required when the case is being filed electronically.
This helps ensure the case is fully filing, ready before submission.
4. Document Categorization Before Filing

Before E-Filing, documents should be organized and categorized based on USCIS or DOL filing requirements.
In the Case Details page, open the Documents section to access all case-related documents.
For convenience, ImmiBox does the categorization by attaching suitable labels. It would be ideal to have this review before proceeding with e-filing.
This helps maintain a properly structured filing package before electronic submission.
5. Attorney & Workflow Requirements

Before E-Filing can begin, the case must be assigned to the responsible Attorney, as per the default workflow. Even, if you want to reassign, you can reassign the attorney.
The assigned Attorney should upload their scanned electronic signature to their ImmiBox profile before initiating the e-filing process.
This will help ImmiBox generate Preparer Declaration document dynamically.
