Record the conditions on which a benefit request is accepted for filing
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the filing the lawyer has marked, record that a benefit request is rejected if it is not signed with a valid signature, executed, filed in compliance with the regulations for that request, and submitted with the correct fee. Record that a rejected filing does not keep a filing date and that a rejection may not be appealed. Record that the applicant or petitioner must establish eligibility at the time of filing and must continue to be eligible through adjudication, and that the request must be properly completed and filed with all initial evidence required by the regulations and the instructions. Do not decide that this request is accepted. Do not decide eligibility.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether the request meets the filing rules. 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(a)(7) states receipt, rejection, the signature and fee rules, and that a rejection may not be appealed. Section 103.2(b)(1) states eligibility at filing and through adjudication, and the duty to file a completed request with initial evidence. 8 U.S.C. § 1201(g) says no visa or other documentation shall be issued if the application fails to comply with the chapter or the regulations, among other grounds. The tool does not decide acceptance or eligibility.
