How do I create a myUSCIS company account?

Company accounts with myUSCIS allow multiple members of a company to access to the account, review forms, and suggest edits to the collaborating attorney.

The Company Group has two main entities: an Administrator and Members. Each Company Group has at least one Administrator. Individuals with the “Administrator” label are the only ones with the authority to sign, pay for, and submit forms. Company Groups may have multiple Members. Members are employees within the Company Group that can help prepare the filings but do not have signatory power or the ability to pay for or submit forms. It is important to plan the creation of your Company Group ahead of time, to ensure that the individual with signatory power is properly identified as the Administrator in your account.

Setting up the Administrator Account

1. Identify the signatory within your company. This individual will become the Administrator and create the Company Group.

2. The Administrator will visit http://www.my.uscis.gov and select “Sign Up.”

3. Enter your email address and confirm your email address. Be sure to use a company email address that you check frequently, as this will be the email that will be used on your forms and where USCIS will send you updates on any petitions filed. Click “Sign Up.”

4. An email will be sent to the email address you entered. Check your email and confirm your myUSCIS account by clicking the link in the email.

5. Create and confirm your password. Select submit.

6. You will be prompted to select a two-step verification method. Select how you would like to receive verification codes to login to your account in the future. Click submit.

7. You will then be prompted to select password reset questions. Select 5 questions from the list and provide your answers. Click submit.

8. Next, you will select your account type. Here, select the final option “I am part of an organization or company, a sole proprietor, or an agent.” Click submit.

Creating a Company Group

1. When first logging in, the Administrator will see three options. Click “Create a Company Group.”

2. The Administrator will be prompted to create a Company Profile. Enter the following information and click “continue”:

• 1. Company Name
  2. Doing Business As (d/b/a) Name (if any)
  3. Tax Identification Number
  4. Company Mailing Address

3. The Administrator will then be prompted to create a Personal Profile. Enter the following information:

• 1. Name
  2. Business email address
  3. Mobile phone number

4. The Administrator will again be prompted to choose how they would like to receive one-time PINs for two-step login verification. Choose an option. Then, click “Create company group.” Note: If you have not been designated an Administrator for your company – do not continue.

A Company Group has now been created. The Administrator’s home page will allow them to invite both Members within the company and Legal Representatives to collaborate with their Company Group.

Inviting Members

1. To add Members, the Administrator should look under the “company” tab at the top of their home page and click “manage company group.

2. Click “add user” and enter the invitee’s first and last name and email address. Then, assign the invitee the role of either Administrator or Member.

3. Invitees will be sent an invitation to the email address entered. Invitees should click “sign in or create an account.” Note: invitations are valid for only 7 days. The next steps need to be completed within 7 days of receiving the email invitation.

4. Invitees will take the same steps as the Administrator in creating their myUSCIS account. They will automatically be linked to the Company Group with the role assigned to them.

Inviting a Legal Representative

1. To add a Legal Representative, the Administrator should look under the “my representatives” tab at the top of their home page and click “invite a representative.”

2. Enter the Representative’s first and last name and email address. Choose “send invitation.”

3. Representatives will then be sent an email prompting them to collaborate with your Company Group.

It is important to note that Legal Representatives can only edit forms that the Legal Representative begins. If anyone within the Company Group starts a form, the Representative will not be able to view, edit, sign or submit that form.
