e-filing Desktop Add-on

1. Introduction

INSZoom allows its users to fill out online forms using the e-file feature. Many forms, such as DS-160, and N-600 are web-based forms, that ask foreign nationals/representatives to fill out their information on the form available on the government link. To allow our users to fill these forms using the master data available in the INSZoom application, the e-file feature was introduced.

2. Value Proposition

  • One-touch online form filling.
  • Automatically populates fields in online forms with the data available in the INSZoom Application.
  • Drastically reduces time to fill online immigration forms on government websites.

  • Web Browser agnostic- it is independent of the browser used in the system and works on all popular browsers such as Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, Mozilla, Edge, etc.

  • A new e-filing Add-on window will open, and you can proceed with the online form as you would normally do. The data will be populated field by field, so you can click Save, and Proceed once the complete page is populated.

5. Few Best Practices

  • When the e-filing is in progress on the government website, there will be a blue color progress bar at the top (a line between the header content and the government website), which shows the progress of the data auto-population. Until the progress bar is completed, users should not click on the “Next or Continue” button on the online form page.
  • The online form e-filing/ data auto-population will not be completed if you close the Desktop Add-on during the e-filing process, and the form data might not get saved at the government website. This behavior is based on the configuration of the government website; few forms/websites might save data during the e-filing process, and few websites might save data only at the end. Therefore, do not interrupt the e-filing process in between unless it is absolutely necessary.
  • For a better efiling experience, you may add your latest myUSCIS account credentials in INSZoom under Settings>Advanced Settings before you begin efiling. Configuring this setting will autofill your credentials on the myUSCIS login page.
