The Appearance form is required in most civil court cases. For example, you must file an Appearance when: o Someone sues you and you want to participate in the court case. If you do not file an Appearance and go to court as needed, the court case might go ahead without you and the court might rule against you.
Filing a Motion via E-filing You can e-file using a personal computer or at one of the public access eFile workstations offered at the Daley Center and in suburban courthouses. You must have an email address to e-file.
In California, an attorney is required to file a notice of appearance in court in order to represent a party in a lawsuit. This notice informs the court and all parties involved that the attorney will be representing the party and should be the primary point of contact for all legal matters related to the case.
Entry of Appearance for Represented Parties Within 14 days after a new case is docketed, counsel must file an Entry of Appearance. For counsel retained after the case is docketed, counsel must file an Entry of Appearance within 14 days after being retained or admitted to the Federal Circuit's bar.
You can only file Form I-131F online, and you must file a separate Form I-131F for each person seeking parole in place. The Form I-131F is to be completed by the noncitizen spouse or stepchild, and not the U.S. citizen. See the USCIS website at uscis/keepingfamiliestogether for more detailed information.
You must file Form I-485 via mail to a USCIS service center. If you and your relative are filing Form I-130 and Form I-485 together, you can still file Form I-130 online, but you must physically send Form I-485 to the correct USCIS Service Center.
You may apply as the person who directly qualifies for an immigrant category (“principal applicant”) or, in some cases, as the spouse or the child of a principal applicant (“derivative applicant”). Whether you are a principal or derivative applicant, you must file your own Form I-485.
